jorgeassoc · 07-10-2008, 11:01 PM

Kind of excited, not sure how its going to look on my aspen white s. Best part is da CF, the bigger scoop, and lost like 10lbs!
I hope it will turn out to be a stunner,

Teaser.

Where is your old hardtop?

XViperDude · 07-11-2008, 05:26 AM

Looking forward to seeing this one! More airflow and less weight, eh? Nice... I may do this...

Congrats, do yourself a favor and buy a torx adapter kit if you don't already have one before you fit your new roof. Chalk and cheese vs. the rubbish Lotus supplied T40 long stick junk, not only is it awkard and make it hard to remove and install roofs, it also gives a "dead" feel response which very easily results in the weak threads/screws being burnt when you overtighten em.

Bare carbon fiber on white looks spectacular. Looking forward to those pictures.

+1

I've been taking the roof(s) on and off frequently... it's much easier and safer with a T40 bit, right angle ratchet driver (for the rear brackets), and a straight ratchet driver (for all the others).

The hard top didnt come with papers. The instAll was quite easy. ONLY one issue..."Am i suppose to reuse the oem rubber fittings from the oem hard top, and place them onto the current one?

edit: I called sector and they said rubber not needed. -i wish i wouldn't need the rubber at all for anything! LOL
