You're correct. Thanks for pointing this out.

See for example here for an explanation of the different weave patterns ("Carbon Fiber - All Patterns Explained").

The difference between for example an F82 M4 CFRP roof and an F87 M2 CS CFRP roof is the size of the weave pattern.

To stand corrected, I updated the first post of this thread accordingly.
