I think it enhances the really strong lines of the A-C pillar section in the front view.

Tons of new cars follow the same idea today.

If it has tits or an engine it will be trouble Posts: 13,272 Group: Members Member #348 Joined: June 15, 2006	So is it an actual carbon roof or just some Carbon fiber effect vinyl stuck on? We all remember the Vinyl roofed Fords of the 70`s
