Can You Wankel?

I completely agree. There is no ready available source for the front hinges and bolts for the glass sun roofs and they are different in both the hing and the bolts going from the glass to steel roof.
Also as Ive found even attempting to remove the screws/bolts out of a glass roof is an agonizing experience, and tha'ts if you can even get them out with out snapping the bolts. All hat being said I'm glad to see new products being offered by Re-Speed I'm not sure if I need this (still considering purchasing), but you would definitely have a better product if you included the hinges etc.

If there's any way possible, I would like to have a system where when you check out to your shopping cart online, it would calculate all weight savings in a section.

All the weight will be documented as any product that I will be developing for weight saving purposes. I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this or not, but I have started documenting weight differences on the website as shown in here:

I don't really see much of advantage over a stock metal roof. I do know the S1-S2 cars had lighter (flimsier) roofs than the S3 cars. But other than on an actual track car, - what benefit would you get from a fiberglass top?
You get a louder, hotter car with no interior panel to cover your exposed fiberglass top.
Just my 2 cents.
I think this effort could be put into other projects - like the Airbox one..

Having said that, a lighter vehicle, is more economical than a heavier (gas mileage wise) ... not that most of you care about that, but I do

if were worried about weight just drive with the sunroof removed, also, the reduction of weight from higher position on the vehicle will be more beneficial then reduction of weight lower in the vehicle. So potentially this could be worth it to some people. Personally I like the glass roof the best so the sun can shine in
