<img src="http://cobaltss.net/articles/sema4.jpg" align="left" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5">Open Air is the answer. It features a Webasto five-panel, electronically operated glass roof that opens up to reveal an interior with unique fabrics, leather-wrapped instrument panel upper, door trim uppers and steering wheel, as well as body-colored bezels and instrument panel trim.
The exterior also receives star treatment, including a special Gold Rush two-stage exterior paint that was developed specifically for GM Color Studios. Other Cobalt SS Coupe Open Air exterior elements include GMSPO 18-inch, polished aluminum wheels, carbon fiber front and rear fascia extensions, rocker extensions, rear wing and outside rearview mirror caps. A detailed engine compartment, Wilwood brake rotors and caliper and a GMSPO catback exhaust system with bright outlets complete the Cobalt SS Coupe Open Air picture.

Will GM be selling these carbon fiber parts? If so that would be awesome :)

For some reason I think so, because in the Eco-Tec build book, they all have part numbers for a carbon fiber roof, front splitter, trunk, spoiler, i forgot what else.

I thought I read where Stage 2 was 241hp and stage 1 was 236hp. I'm going to assume that these are at the wheels. I hope to god they are lol. Anyways I heard that GM will be coming out withlowering springs for the car. They already have them out for the Ion Redlines cause I saw them be displayed at NOPI.

I want the Roof. I want, I want, I want,

the three stage on the G6 is Sexy, but a 5 Stage would open up the entire roof, I bet it looks amazing

Liking the 5 panel glass roof idea ( would like to do that with mine :). Makes me kinda wish I had waited to buy the SS till this concept comes out :(

I am just taking a guess but if you look on the roof, where ther two rain tracks are probably screws. I am willing to say the center section, comes out how else would you put in a carbon fiber roof with out having to do a complete teardown, of the A-pillars. Just a guess

The 5 panel glass roof would be sweet. However, a rag top convertible would be even better :)
