SellyourSSL Engineering used to make one, but they no longer do... You need to replace your roof

I'm still trying to think of worthwhile reasons why you would want to remove the sunroof?

I sure you could find somebody to make a carbon fiber plug to cover up your sunroof, either that or carbon fiber the whole roof. My buddy here in Marin County does a lot of custom fiberglass and carbon fiber work, ill ask him what the best way to go would be.

When I bought my SE the only thing I didn't like was the fact it didn't have a sun roof. I'll live with it though.

Hehe. I thought I was the only one that likes the sun roof.
And agree. The only way I would replace it is with a CF one.

same here. I like my sunroof, but I would go for the CF in a heard beat.

I actually talked to a guy that installed the AMS carbon fiber roof here in AZ, though. He said that after you pull the sunroof setup out, and the head liner, that the roof is just tack welded there. he just took a jig saw to the 6-8 spots and the roof came right off. When I asked how he get the CF on there, he just looked at me like I was retarded.

"I just glued it on."



It looked hella good, too.
