    Hi all, I just purchased at 2010 2.5. It came with a soft top In decent condition. Does anybody wanted to sell a carbon fiber roof or a brilliant red roof. I’m guessing these are hard to find. Any aftermarket suggestions?

    Also have read varying suggestions on how to maintain battery life. I only drive in about 25 a week. So should I leave it plugged in? I have a 110 charger And currently gets about 173 miles predicted to charge.Thanks in advance

    Just leave it plugged in. A 240v circuit is better than 120v, as it enables the car's A/C to actively cool the battery. Not needed now, but the car will appreciate it come summer. You do not need a super high current outlet. If you have an electric dryer in the garage, that outlet can be easily shared with the car via something like a "Dryer Buddy".

    Lacking a CF rooftop, you might consider the Visium product instead:
    Seeking long term feedback from Visium owners.

    Not a carbon fiber, but a pretty cool roof if you are interested...

    Asking $800. It came off a Lotus Exige. I may even be able to meet you somewhere in the middle.

    That sounds good,

    800$ sounds good. Assuming it fits well and is in good condition. I’m in. Not in a rush so...if I’m coming up that direction or you are coming down to near encino...we can make the exchange?
