CF roof or Sunroof?

I'm debating if I should option the Carbon Fiber or Sunroof. I'm 5'8. Will the sunroof clear a helmet or do you really need the CF roof?

I personally do not like sunroofs, at all. And the CF roof just looks so so so good

I’m 6’6” and have only sat in a CF roof car. There was still 1.5”-2” of clearance between my head and the headliner.

Obviously this is not an answer to your exact question but gives some idea as I’m significantly taller than you and easily clear inside a CF roof. However, there is always the factor of how much torso do you have (most of my height is in my legs with a pa t inseam of 37”).

Also, which seats? CF buckets or regular seats? I think the bucket seats sit lower which also increases head room.

I have a sunroof. I am 5'10" and use a Bell K1 Helmet without any issues. I occasionally nail my head into the A-pillar when getting in/out of the car since I forget how big my head is with the helmet on. Technically, you have unlimited space with the sunroof
