I bet weight savings is around 50lbs and that weight is in the total wrong place. Van great mod and I say the car looks so much better too.
If I end up keeping my GTS this is something I'd do too.

How much weight did you save?
The weight up top ... best one to lose.

45 lbs weight saving.

It is something I never considered on my Carrera, but the GT3 was a car the roof should never have come on IMO.

The sunroof itself weights about 20lbs, it is a heavy chunk.

Awesome, That is the next mod for me as well.
Love it! Thanks for posting.
I did't think the steel roof netted that much savings. I was told the carbon options were in the ballpark of 45-50lbs.
Keep the pic's coming!

Carbon Fibre roof was 4 lbs lighter, and all those that sell them recommend a full cage. I only have the Porsche CS back half cage, so it was a no go for me.
