They have the disclaimer because it you use lightweight parts (ie carbon fiber and fiberglass) on street cars, you run the risk of it flying off and causing damage (which is why you need hood pins on cf hoods).

Sols are actually pretty heavy for their size...around the heft of a ek coupe.

VIS is an American Company (with absolutely shitty customer service), so this top is not designed for transtops. I assume it installs similarly to the glass tops - which utilize facory parts and just removing the top steel section.

Oh, and a lot of people actually replace moonroof glass panels w/ cf sheets as well (along w/ removing all other parts too, of course). This is definately not really designed for weight savings...more of a bling thing.

Oh, and this should really have gone in the Civic section - since del sols are civics (theyre eg's)
