Well, just contact GM and say you have a better clearcoat for the carbon fiber roof of the ZR-1. It supposedly sells for $60,000 per gallon. It's easy to include carbon fiber on cars like the R8 and Pagani Zonda, the thing that will make HXL move is when they can do it on the Toyota Camry...

Regards,
John

"The coating used for UV protection in the clearcoat that goes on the exposed carbon fiber parts is $60k/gal. But they only use a small portion mixed in with the clearcoat to get the end result. This makes the UV protection cost about $2500/gal and is only used on the EXPOSED carbon fiber parts. Roof, side skirts, splitter. The rest is regular paint like any other Vette."
