Right the only CF roof seen was the STI concept and the possibility of a cf roof on the Toyota vid. I highly doubt it will be a stock option.

The aftermarket should be able to fix that.

We have seen the Blue TRD car and it didn't have the carbon fiber roof like people were talking about in the vid.

CFRP cover? I dunno, don't really care about a CF roof but if you do, I'm sure some company will eventually make a dry carbon roof replacement.

I doubt there will end up being a full cf roof - however, scion is known to wrap parts in cf wrap so it looks as if it were completely cf. awesome yo... :/ haha

Are these the same people who thought it would come with a CF the same people who were bitching about 25K being too expensive for this car?

Don't really care about a carbon roof, but I do care if it's not aluminum. Weight difference between the two would be minimal, maybe 2-3lbs.

I loved the black (CF) roof and trunk on the concept - would make a tasteful mod to get the roof and trunk "wrapped" in flat black vinyl.

Hopefully the trunk is aluminum.
