I received a photo from Sergio with the top in the back of a truck told it was being brought into the shop last week. He said he would be documenting the build on his new YouTube channel starting next month.

We also did a bit of brain storming, asking questions like "how will the top attach to the window frame", and "do we keep a functioning trunk, and if so, do we build a half trunk as well if the top covers the stock hinges?"

Questions I just didn't think about on a race car, Sergio has brought up. I can provide him with hype, concerns and questions, but the actual production is being carried out by his team. I'll keep letting him know you guys are wanting this to be started/completed.
 
Check out this video from Sergio Amezcua of Carbonetics Carbon Fiber discussing his new goals for his Spyder, as well as project plans for the hard top at the 8:50 mark in the video.

Hey Atuca

Do you have any updates right now? I've had a spyder part waiting for molding at his shop for a while now and having trouble getting updates from Carbonetics.
My last conversation with him was in July.

I just reached out to him today for you to get an update. I've expressed interest in picking up the top and taking it to another shop if his workload can't also support this top project moving forward.

I spoke with him, and he wanted to apologize. Carbonetics has been putting a focus on customer orders (which is good imo) as to not put those people on a forever wait. For R&D projects, which was supposed to be the top, he had put focus on pre-preg carbon projects that he believes will put his company even further ahead of his competition.

He has also said now that if he isn't able to do it early next year, he will entertain the idea of having another shop do it. I told him it is important for us to get this done one way or another.

I would encourage you guys to hit him up on IG and Facebook, keep telling him you want it. Repeat every week. Let him know the demand is there.

I'll update if I hear any progress is made.

What is a good FB name/account to ping?
 
After hearing the stories of Carbonetics and some DSM'ers experience with Sergio I'm a little shocked it went to him in the first place. But if he has/had the R&D power to do the project I understand. I don't have a spyder but this would be big for that community, hope it actually makes production one day :hellyeah:
 
I've been excitedly following this thread for a while. Now that we've passed the "early" part of the year, I wonder if he's going to actually have another shop do it or if Carbonetics is working on it already?:idontknow: Have there been any other updates since you last spoke with him? Thank you for all the info on this @Atuca . Can't wait for this to be available for purchase!
 
Today is the official last last of 2023… I can’t find anything about this top actually being completed or put into production? Anyone have any news?
