What if mine does not have a sunroof?????

well.... IŽll make one dammit!

hehehe

here`s the install

The guy doing this is "old school" he gave the shape to the metal with only a hammer and a lot of time. Looks 100% factory.

The roof going in came from a 95 Mazda MX3, so its powered. It tilts and runs on the outside of the roof. No first gen has that, hehehehe






The car is now sunfire gold, but will come out of the shop shiny black.

No reinforcement added yet, no structural part cutted.

Very nice,

Now maybe he can take the part he cut out for the sunroof and make you a fender. Just kidding! I admire the workmanship. I want to see it when you're done.

Thanks for the replys guys!

Im really used to cars with a sunroof and I feel kinda claustrophobic without one.

I posted pics of the roof previously, cant remember exactly when. I went there without my camera, but I will drop by to take hi-res pics so you can guys can see the lip and everything on this job.

The guy at the shop took both bumpers and fenders out to center the lines and realign the doors. Now the shut like a brand new lexus.

This car will rock. God I love the 7...
