Default Caravaggio carbon roof bow

We just made our first carbon roof bow. This was designed for the cars that have the optional exposed carbon roof. We had an aluminum tool made to make sure the part was absolutely perfect. we will be retailing them out at $645.00 each. I should have the first one painted and installed by mid next week.

Having trouble visualizing the finished product on the car, so photos would be helpful...

I assume he is referring to painting just the "blade" pieces on both sides. Only the middle (flat portion) will be left carbon. Also assuming after each side is painted to match the particular cars body color, the entire piece will be cleared.

John,

Everything you do is top quality. What is involved in removing the stock roof bow (is it bolted/screwed in)? Thanks.

Do you have any "before" and "after" photos? Also, a quick how to install would be helpful. This is something I might be interested in for my Shark Gray coupe.
