Sunline Racing Dry Carbon Roof for Nissan GT-R
December 17th, 2009
Sunline Racing have released their dry carbon roof for the Nissan GT-R. This roof is said to be designed for high strength while it’s 0.8mm thickness lends itself to being extremely lightweight.
It comes with a UV protection coating to ensure it keeps looking good for a long time to come and sells for 241,500 yen in Japan.
I’m surprised that not too many companies have done carbon roofs for the GT-R so far. There’s something good about that unpainted carbon look on the roof that I love…

Kazutoshi Mizuno once said swapping out the stock roof skin with a carbon skin affect the structural rigidity of the car. I am guessing that is one reason why not many companies make a carbon roof. Mine’s for example don’t do any mods that compromise the car.
I read it as being just a “cover”. AKA dress up part.
I am pretty sure it is a replacement skin, a 0.8mm cover on top of the stock roof panel would make it stick way up, it won’t sit flush at all, and if it is just a dress up cover, it can be way thinner.
