Good day my fellow ISF owners. Most of you know me as ZaxF, but I'll be hanging around as our new Vendor account most days. Some of you may know that last year myself and Quick350 acquired possibly the last of the clublexus/drc motorsports racecars, along with all the molds to build two different race cars. Along with those came a carbon fiber mold for the roof. We ran off the first part about 6 months ago and moved our focus to the RCF hood, which we have recently launched. We will begin production on this roof in the next few weeks and wanted to give you guys a sneak peak.
The pictures below (some are stock photos) show the racecar and the additional molds as well as the carbon fiber roof. We also have the ability to build the louvered hood, and offer the louvers independently as well.
Enjoy!

Awesome! Good for you guys. Since I have access to a Faro Edge I was actually going to scan my roof in order to supply a polygonal model for whoever felt like taking on such a project. But better yet you guys already have a mold haha!
Source a new headliner and we got ourselves a sunroof delete!

Thank you!! Personally I'll keep my sunroof slider headliner so I can look at that glorious carbon fiber! But a stock headliner should do the trick-direct order from lexus and you're in business.

What happened with the real splitter you guys have on your Facebook page? A real splitter in CF for the IS F would be amazing. I have yet to see anything from the aftermarket lip choices looking like it creates any downforce.

I wasn't happy with the mounting points based on the size of the splitter. It's on the drawing board, just working out whether we want to use a bolt on T design that spans back to the transmission or go with something mounted to the front frame horns, which would be ideal. I just haven't had the time to tear off the front end to take measurements and do some design work. The prototype is just sitting in my garage waiting on me.

Nice!!
Guessing there would be quite a bit of work involved getting this installed?![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
What's the weight saving over the OEM roof? I'm lucky enough to have a sunroof free example already ( most U.K. versions are), but I've been eyeing up a carbon roof for a while now.![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

My goal is to have the first roof on my F before the end of the summer, I just need to schedule the down time with our shop.

Also, you can reduce a ton of cost if you drop your own headliner and unbolt the sunroof and components ahead of time. That's an easy 4 hours at $100/hr of labor.
