I would have a serious OCD episode if the CF roof on my M3CS started cracking and peeling. Lol. I would disagree with those that say the weight savings does not count. I don't know what the difference is but that's a large piece of sheet metal and it has to be fairly significant. It's also at the very top of the car.

Case in point. I strap a hard travel case to the back rack of my KTM 1090R. It weighs about 6 lbs when full of "stuff" and it's basically mounted at the highest point of the bike. My friend has the exact same bike but his soft case's (2) are mounted on the sides and about 10 inches lower. Just standing the bike up off it's kickstand mine feels 20lbs heavier. Keeping sprung weight low is important when tossing a car (or bike) around.
