You are paying for the clear coat. Exposed carbon fiber will age quickly. Most clear coats will help reduce the rapidity of the aging. The clear coat Corvette uses is reportedly much more effective at holding off the effects of UV rays. I have read that Chevrolet pays $50,000 for a gallon; don't know if that price is credible but it is what I have read.

So yes, one is paying $1995 to not have the roof painted.
