That vinyled carbon sheet roof looks pretty good. I had my roof vinyled a satin/matte black and it turned out sharp. Definitley gives the car a sublte, yet even more sporty look.

the vinyl looks pretty good but i would rather put on one of these carbon sheets to keep the same look as the hood and other carbon pieces . now if i went with matte carbon on the hood and other pieces then i would just try this vinyl out .

Any pics of your roof?

i know.

BAD430BENZ

no pics cuz i haven't done it yet . i am thinking about ordering the sheet next week to try it out .

BAD430BENZ

Looks really nice.

Are the heat extracting vents functional or cosmetic? Can't tell with one pic from the top.

BAD430BENZ

the guys says they are functional .

This is the only decent picture that I have, but I think it will give you the basic idea.

I think this makes it more of a sleeper, esp. at night. Often times I see a C in white and then realize it's not a '63 because of the black roofing. With this CF vinyl, I wouldn't be surprised if people mistook it for a C300/350

But anyone that knew the C63 can't do the glass roof would see the two majestic hills in the hood and know what's what fairly quickly...

ok guys , update time !!! i spoke to carl lan and he said that they struck a deal with an airfreight company to ship the hoods to the u.s by air instead of ocean . that was good news to me cuz i get my hood a lot faster ( at no extra cost ) . he said that my hood is going to ship out tomorrow or friday . i get updates from him almost daily . that's customer service

That is great news. 45+ days would have been a long wait. Are you planning to use lighter struts? Looking forward to pictures and a review.

BAD430BENZ

i am going to try the oem struts first because i talked to keith about his carbon hood and he is using the oem struts with no problems . i will try it for a bit and if i need to , i will get new ones .

I noticed the seller updated the eBay listing with some new photos. It must be your hood BAD430BENZ! The quality looks really good. Can't wait to hear how it fits. I like the fact they added a mesh grille for the vents as well.









I was hoping for a head on eye level shot but I'm sure we'll see more pictures from BAD430BENZ. I kinda wish the edges around the vents didn't sit as high and slightly more subtle, but have to wait to see it installed.

BAD430BENZ

I'm liking this hood more and more and might pull the trigger...I'm just questioning the heat-venting ability for those who live in 100°+ ambient climates, based on what I see of the vents and their placement.

BAD430BENZ

well , being in el paso , tx , i can tell you that the vents do a make a bit of a difference as far as heat venting . since we are from such hot cities , the heat under the hood is always going to be there . i know during really hot days , you can see the fumes coming from the vents so i guess they work .

Good to hear, thanks BAD.

Guys, there seems to be some interest in Stone Carbon CF vented hood here. In the past both BAD and Patboyy have tried to set up GB on these hoods but they went no where, so Patboyy went just bought ours direct. I am not sure if he is doing the vented hood anymore, but you should drop them a email and see. Contact is
Carl Lan Email: stone.carbon.cn@gmail.com and he is very responsive. A good guy to deal with.

mr-flyer

Carl is a great guy to deal with i will vouch for that. My hood has been ordered and shipped, hopefully it'll be here in 2 days.
