    Thanks for the info, just checked their website & prices seem very good for the quality.

    I was going to plug the sunroof & fit a non sunroof headliner then just cover the roof skin.

    Is the person you bought the kit off of called Ross Newton by chance? If so, I'll have a word and see if we can sort some sort of shipping/collection/delivery out as he's a good friend.

    The offer of free help still stands if you ever need it!
    Text you mate.

    That's what I'd do too if I'm honest, carbon skin is great for weight saving but poor if used on the road as a normal car I'd imagine.

    I got fed up with waiting for someone to let me have there bumper, people can be so unreliable!
    I'm going Gun Metallic (M) - KAD same colour as the R35 GTR. As the cars already grey I think it will suit really well.
    Tubs are still in progress as I had to work last weekend so Liam couldn't come round.

    Cheers. I'm not 100% sure but the seller said he reckons it's the only genuine kit in the country.

    Alright, alright.... Is that not the same grey as standard on the 13?

    The s13 colour is KG2 DARK GRAY METALLIC
    The R35 KAD is basically the same as the Nissan Juke.

    Not long got my srb roof. Good fit. I have cut tho whole roof out though. I went for the fiberglass version as most carbon things are just carbon skinned fiberglass.

    Do you have a sunroof model?
    Why did you cut off the whole roof section & not just lay it over the top, is there a benefit?
    You got any pics of the process?

    Didn't have a sunroof. No. Was easier to weld in the cage and cut out the weight. No pics as of yet but still doing it.

    If you want to just bond it to the roof then you will have to cut the new panel up as it's designed to replace the lips on front and rear windows.

    Finally got my subframe back from media. It had to be chemically dipped for 2 solid days as I was told it had 5 layers of hammerite on & some really heavy sealant. Gave it a quick coat of etch primer.



    Also prepped the driveshafts & gave them a blast of primer.

    Finally got some more time to spend on the car.
    I'd already painted the subframe so I ftted the new polybushes & then fitted it to the car.
    I then fitted all my Hardrace bushed arms.
    I had put all the nuts & bolts in a vinegar bath about 2 weeks but I've decided I'm going to buy all new M10 bolts, washers & nylocs just because.

    So awesome mate, I'll be doing this very soon with my ps13, got the same arms too! What have you used to underseal your archs? Sorry I've probably missed it!

    Are you just doing lots of little spot welds to make up the whole seam?
