Aftermarket Visible Carbon Fiber Roof???

[B/STOCK]

Are there any reports on how the quality is on aftermarket visible CF roofs? I understand GM uses some exotic clear coat on theirs. Is the same true with aftermarket? The OEM is $4,500 from GM Parts Direct & $5,800 from my dealers parts dept.

The aftermarket versions I've seen advertised are clear coated, but the GM clearcoat is supposed to be very resistant to sun and weather damage. It reportedly costs GM a thousand or two a gallon. I've not seen an aftermarket carbon roof, and haven't spoken to anyone who has. Personally, I wouldn't order one sight unseen.
