weight if not unsprung is best lost as high as possible which will effectively lower your center of gravity and rotational mass.

sure it's not a huge amount but every bit helps for those looking for that extra edge...or bling factor.

Maybe yours weighs that much. Mine stock weighed 3909lbs. Now it’s closer to 3400lbs. I’d like to lose another 100lbs please, that’s worth about 12whp and will absolutely enhance handling (especially if I can now tie my cage into the roof support).

If you don’t like it that’s fine. Nobody is forcing you to get one.

And yeah, I’ve seen Jaeson’s post (freefall). I’ve also seen others say it weighs everything from 120 to 180. I don’t care, it’s weight that can be eliminated and that’s good enough for me.

There is no way the roof weights over 100lbs, plus my coupe weighed 4070lbs on corner balance scales so even if I did this it would be a very minimal return.

Apso not sure how you could have taken 500lbs out of your coupe already and still have the roof..... did you remove your passenger seat and heater/ac box, both mufflers?

Also removing weight won’t give you 12whp. It will change the power to weight ratio of the car but that’s not the same as adding HP.


If you are going to try and sell something try and be honest, with yourself and with others. Maybe it’s time you put the football down

I was referring to 40lb quoted above....and I assume that was the saving on a normal solid roof.

Yeah on its own a 40lb saving won’t be much, but I doubt any of these cars will be bone stock and it adds up. Plus as was stated above it’s a one time thing you won’t be able to find one later if you did decide you wanted one

I don’t understand the people that don’t want one.

Just STFU.

Its MY money. I’ll spend it how I want too.

Thanks.

The 12whp is an equivalent figure to taking out 100lbs. It’s just math.

Yes I have over 400lbs taken out of my coupe. Just look around your interior (seats, airbags, trim, seatbelts, etc), bumper supports, heat shields, lighter mufflers, light wheels, etc etc it all adds up. And mine was 3909 on a calibrated corner balance scale too.

Don’t care what you do with your car. *** off I’ll do whatever I want with mine.

So far we have the following people on the list:

Of these people, the following seem to be really into the story:

The problem is that at that time I had already asked for concrete offers for the roof. Also quotes for shipping by ship to the USA. But when no one really got back to me from some of those who showed interest, the project fell asleep.

The manufacturer of the roof was also a bit ****ed up because he had invested time and effort and in the end nothing came of it and he therefore earned no money. So I don't want to ask again without putting some money on the table to show real interest.

I also don't know how the prices have changed, as the price of raw materials has risen extremely in all areas recently. Of course I try to get the best out of it, but I don't want to ask a second time if nothing comes of it.

Then I can't give an exact time limit. The whole thing can also take 2-4 months. The roof will be unique and once the mould is built, you can always order more. But at a much higher price.

The most expensive thing is really the mould and I have to provide the company with an original roof, which is no longer usable afterwards.
I'd like to do something like that, but 10 roofs are quite a lot and finding 10 people who are willing to pay something in advance and don't know exactly what the whole thing costs is difficult, of course.

Hello I see that you had some interest in this old carbon roof buy not sure if u ended up getting ur hands on one or not but if you are still interested we are trying to bring it back. Here’s the link to the new forum please comment if interested! https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ml#post8664055

Hello everyone, my name is Bobby Esfandiari a fellow 204 c63 owner. I have been following this thread for a long time now and ended up stumbling across it again yesterday. I’m not sure where this group is as of now production wise but I’m still looking for this carbon roof. There is a company by the name zefer performance on Instagram that I have bought tons of items from. I contacted in regards to this. We spoke and came to a conclusion that it is totally possible to start this but we would need a group buy. Yes I can have a custom one off roof made for myself but why. My goal is to help the 204 community that has been looking for this for years aswell as bring costs down in the group buy. @BLKROKT has expressed to me that many people in this thread are still interested so i thought it would be a good idea for me to bring this here. Personally I could care less who makes it but if there’s is a lot of trouble with the original manufacturer I believe zefer is our guy. He cares about his customers and seems like he is very willing to take on the task. I’m going to mention people from previous messages in the next post! Here’s the new thread
