Not quite... You need to send them your roof so that they can install the carbon fiber panel on it.

No,

Product Description
Carbon fiber roof panel just like the ones from the factory offered as standard on the ZR1's and specific C7's. Real carbon fiber made from the highest quality pre-preg dry carbon fiber cloth finished in state of the art UV protective clear coat.



Applications- 2014 & up Corvette

Availability- These roofs are exclusive from Melrose and demand is high. Please call for accurate delivery time.

Core requirements- your core is needed. You must ship us your C7 roof. We will remove your exisiting panel and bond the Carbon panel in place to factory specs.

Not quite...If you click on the website it shows that they do have a fully assembled one that requires no core. $2500 is a bit steep though

They also have a transparent roof for $1399. Not a bad price considering. A little competition may bring them down more, hopefully. I'd like a transparent roof to go with my exposed CF, but around a $1000 mark.
