Installing a sunroof??
 
I found a very nice GS for sale. Just 75K miles, very clean, all the goodies (dual webers, RB full exhaust, flywheel, fuel pump, tokicos, etc) and tuned at a rotary shop. Everything I need... except the sunroof!! Damn...

So... is an aftermarket sunroof worth considering? Most that I have noticed look real cheezy. Does anyone have words of advice? Thanks!

Someone on here installed a factory sunroof, but I can't remember who it was. Looked really good too.

I think seriously, t tops would be harder to do than a targa.. A targa you could use the existing metal for them, the T tops would be a different matter all together plus the sealing surface area would be more...

Wouldn't T-tops be easier? The T bar would provide something to maintain structural rigidity of the unibody shell. I think Targa would be much harder to retain rigidity.

somewhat, but Id say its the twist of it... T Tops would have there benefit in that respect, but be harder in another area.
