My order has been in for 2 months now and wont get accepted due to the exposed carbon fiber roof constraint. I got a call from me dealer today saying he can push my order today if I switch to the painted carbon fiber roof....so I started doing some research. I found a place online that makes these carbon fiber roofs, they are Melrose T-Top, I actually like their roof better because the carbon fiber goes all the way across the roof and doesn't have that painted trim pieces just above the side windows. I talked to the man at this company and he says that all of his customers have been 100% satisified with the look of his carbon and even said that he has gotten numerous responses that his roof actually has a better look than the OEM carbon fiber roof.
With me switching my order to the standard painted roof, I save $1995 so spending the $2800 shipped isn't that much more....especially if I can get my car that much quicker. Just though I would share this info in case anyone else in my shoes would like another option to get your car quicker.
* Side note..I found another website Corvettepartsworldwide and they get their roofs from Melrose, so its the exact same roofs....he said (Dean - salesman at Corvette parts) they order in such bulk they can beat their suppliers pricing with the discounts they get. He is knocking off $100 for me so I am actually getting this roof for 2695.00 shipped. So its just costing me an additional $700 to get this roof aftermarket and I will now have 2 roofs!!
