Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The hardtop is metal.
POST 3Original post
Definitely metal, but pretty lightweight. Aluminum possibly.

They are made of aluminum.

Yep. A magnet doesn't stick to mine. Must be aluminum.

I have a black 996 cab and found a green cab hardtop locally for $300. What do you think of wrapping it with black carbon fiber vinyl (3m Di-Noc, 1080, other suggestions?). Glossy? Matte?
POST 8Original post
Hmmm! Mine has a gouge in it from a little accident taking it out of the truck, and it definitely isn't aluminum. Some sort of composite that looks a lot like fiberglass.
POST 9Original post
fpb111 is correct. The hardtop's are aluminum and weigh about 73 lbs. relinuca

That might look pretty good, but I think you would need some other parts to be CF also (outside mirrors, spoiler lip, etc).

You could pimp your ride by covering it with vinyl like the old 1970s Cadillacs used to do:
