Kaminari aerodynamics. The carbon weave looks outstanding.

On some of the other (later model) boards, comments have been made about interior carbon fiber accents have not held up well over time. Hopefully your project does well!

Interesting. How much work was involved from unpacking to installing? ("Does not come with seal,frame and headliner")
Do the sides feel as solid / rigid as the normal top?

thanks for the info

No it comes bare and you use original style seals and fastening hardware. No headliner with it.

Its very floppy right now Lol

Telling us about half done projects is irresponsible. 😉

BTW, my stupid self bought a 75 targa last year just because it has an original factory hardtop on it. Not sure I'm keeping the car, but you bet I'm keeping the top.
