Trying to see if we could generate more interest in the CF roof if we can get it made in the US. As some of you might be aware, IND has designed and commissioned the manufacturing of the first CF roof WITHOUT sunroof cutout for the E90. You can see more detail in this thread:

Some of you probably remember we tried to get something similar done earlier last year but there weren't enough interest because of cost.

I have been in touch with Nate and Ilia @ IND and we are trying to get a carbon roof that is similar to E90 roof made for the E92 but it will come with a cutout to fit the E92s that has the factory sunroof.

The cost of this roof is gonna about USD$1400.

Midwest folks can get it installed at IND and the rest of us can probably get it installed at a local body shop specializing in BMW.

IND is interested in getting this made if we can muster up 4-5 people. I know of at least 2 other people in addition myself are interested in this. If you are SERIOUSLY INTERESTED (READ: READY TO PUT DOWN A DEPOSIT), reply to this thread or PM me, I'll tally it up and send the list over to Nate @ IND.

Thank you for your time and interest!
Damn, you nvr stop buddy. haha
this is something I'd definitely consider, especially with a sunroof cutout. With IND behind this it's a no brainer, I'm just holding out until the end of the year when my lease is over and my m3 comes, so hopefully this is something i can count on in the future :thumbsup:
Kev, I think you're the only guy on this site that wants both the moonroof and the CF roof in one. lol

Now the question is, will you keep the glass portion of the roof or get it in CF as well? I'm sure a CF opening portion will be a lot lighter than the glass and still retain the look of the CF with the functionality of a sunroof.

I don't think I'm skillful enough to be able to feel the difference of the CF roof and the steel roof + sunroof, so sunroof is more practical for me (more for my wife in reality). I'm sure IND can the CF sunroof happen too.
