So one would have to cut the roof out and replace or is it a cover?

and add even more weight? Sounds counterproductive. If all you care about is looks then get a wrap?

It will be a replacement. I believe the roof is welded on so they cut the welds and epoxy the CF roof in. I was quoted around 2400.00 from IND just for labor for the install. They have a CF roof available for the 1M and the e90 m3, search for that to see the process.

Ok thanks, sounds like it could potentially affect the stiffness of the car. I plan on tracking and the minimal weight savings here could potentially compromise handling. Personally I don't think it's worth the risk.

The RKP carbon roof is now complete and we will be starting the install next week on the iND M2. The 3D & RKP carbon front lip, diffuser and trunk spoilers are also coming out very soon.

I checked realoem and the part numbers for the M2 hood and trunk are used on the M235i as well, which means Seibon carbon's boot and hood should fit.

I didn't think Seibon made a trunk for the F22

I can't find anything on Seibon's site for the 235i.

Edit... Found a hood, no roof.
