Well everyone says they will make cf parts and that never works but i am honestly trying to get the sunroof panel. Once thats done i will probably be making inner door panels.

I got a sunroof panel from another forum member and sent it out to my body guy to get it refinished, and repainted so that I can make a mold out of it. I should be getting it back this week.

Goal-is to make the sunroof still operate, and for under 300 (thats the cheapest you can currently buy) ESTIMATED price for mine will be 200.

I have contacted boostd7 (something like that) about making a group buy for these on the forums but havent seen a response yet. So if any other mods want to pm me about it that would be great.

 

let me know ill buy one

 

FC3S.org supposedly has a CF one coming out next week or so for $225.

 

An fc3s.org "week" is equivalent to a human "three months"

But, they do have their hands full with a ton of silmutaneous projects.

Hmm....so your trying to tell me that after all this time trying to find a sunroof having no luck, and hearing everyone complain we need a cheaper cf sunroof panel. I deside to take the time and invest the money to build a panel and there now gonna come out with one?

Does anyone have a confimation on either when the panel is supposed to come out and what the price will be?

 

What does the current panel even weigh?

 

i'd say atleast 10 pounds. From holding a couple.

 

Has anyone ever mounted the sunroof in a fixed position without all the rails and stuff? I'd buy a carbon fiber one if I could get rid of everything else (making the sunroff non-operable) and just use it as a panel.

 

Uh, Arospeed makes it, and I heard it sells on eBay for UNDER $200???

I'd guess the stocker weighs 15-20 pounds. It is a brick.

I'm going to be mounting mine without the sunroof apparatus, but targa style so it can be removed.

I haven't seen anything on eBay lately. I was talking to someone from FC3S.org about a week ago and they told me 2 weeks, $225.

Nice, I'm gonna have to get me one of these.

 

I can't seem to locate it on the Arospeed site or eBay... anyone have any links?

 

I wish someone made a clear glass one, or a tinted glass. .

 

didn't do your homework, search the forum for lexan, you'll find it. They aren't making them anymore though, you'ld have to find one of the guys and offer for their prototype...


or you could goto a glasshop too and say you want it made, and they'll make it.

Most FC guys don't understand what customize means... sure you can buy it off ebay... but thats not nearly as nice as knowing you havea one of a kind product, because you made or paid someone to make you a one of a kind product...

 

I want someone to make me a bolt in lexan panel that will replace the stock sunroof, be flush with the roof of the car, and bolt in just fine in a perminant down position after I remove the tracks and all sunroof hardware.

I'm too lazy to do it myself

 

If I had the time, I'd look into making my own stuff. However, not all of us have a lot of free time on our hands. I'm lucky if I get enough time to work on my car period.

 

Yes aerospeed is the one selling them on ebay. However i havent seen them in a long time on there. When I did see them they were selling for atleast 300. Has anyone bought the aerospeed one? If so please let the other forum members know there quality and there price.

The sunroof panel i am making is going to be vacumed sucked. Not just layed like alot of work is done

 

i got the panel back from my body guy today.....going to start on the mold 2moro

 

Ours are finished, and I have just been waiting to finish the testing on them before I put out the pics and info on them. I like to have a finished product, then release it (anyone remember the body kit thing a couple years back? LOL)

Anyway, they are up on the site now. http://www.speedmachineperformance.c...l?v=1&pid=5789

 

nice.. is there any way to attatch this solidly and remove the whole factory mechanism so that it's not removable?

 

wow...they look nice. time to save my money. so from the looks of it there's no underlining and the bolts and the rails are gonna show from underneath right?

 

The track can stay in place, and you can remove the motor assembly. You can also use a piece of aluminum strip, drill out 3 holes in each one, and use that to secure the panel to the car. That might sound confusing. We are doing it on our drift car since the whole area is bare from anything stock. I will have some pics of that when I get it installed to make sense

 

I enjoy how you just hijacked my thread. Is shipping included in your price?

For you rx guys my new price will be $175

 

Also are your roofs vacume bagged or just layed cf?

 

I didn't hijack it, I replied to comments and questions about my parts. If anything, the people asking about and discussing my sunroof hijacked your thread. Shipping is not included in my price. I'll start my own thread so I don't hurt your feelings.
