[DeTomaso] Fiberglass or carbon race Pantera roof ?

[Patrick Hals]

In constant search of saving weight, I am investigating the possibility of 
having a carbon roof on my future GR4 replica. The rest of the lightweight 
spares ( front GR4 spoiler with ducts, front hood with vents, rear sugar 
scoop, 2 doors, rear decklid, GR4 flares and " elephant ears" engine air 
intakes  ) should not exceed 10 kilos in total... That's what I call weight 
saving !
As a matter of fact, and quite unexpectedly, I have recently acquired with a 
friend of mine, a minority shareholding in a small fiberglass and carbon 
manufacturing company in Alsace-France ( 20 years of experience) and this 
will finally allow me to have access to top quality lightweight spares at 
unbeatable prices, and have other P friends in Europe benefit from it.
Does anyone have any experience with that lightweight roof system, like on 
factory BMW GT4 or Ferrari 430 Challenge that are presently racing in Europe 
? How to proceed ? How much weight is eliminated ? What about rigidity ?
Many thanks
Patrick
