Not to mention you will probably weaken the car and aftermarket roofs do not get the rigorous BMW TUV testing. Carbon fiber is not to be trifled with in an accident. It can pop off completely, shatter and be extremely sharp where a metal roof will fold and stay attached.

It really makes no sense. If you want it for cosmetic reasons...it actually looks ugly to me, but if you like it, they have wraps that look like fiber.

Best wishes.
