are they lighter than the stock ones too ?

 

hey, nice job on making that sunroof setup for an FC!

count me in if you haven't gone over the 20 person limit.
if so, when you make some more I'd pay $180 or so for one.
i think it would look good on a blue s4, and i like the idea of a sunroof over a moonroof.
can't wait to see the pics!

One more thing fellas,

I will be putting them on E-bay also because I know there's plenty of FC owners that are not in this forum. So If you see them go over over $180, don't bid on them because you can get them cheaper through me here.

 

Hy 73,what brand is that nose on the black turbo 11 ???gotta have one of those

 

RE-Amemiya www.rotaryextreme.com sells the replica with lights for $1000

 

Also if you could get some interior pics i am curious about how unfinished it looks from the inside. The stock sunroof has a felt bottom and hides all teh greasy track and cables etc. How much of that is now going to be visible and how bad will that look? They look very good from the outside and i am definatly interested in one for my 90.

thx

 

As saturday comes and goes....update?

 

Come on, he has 2 hours left...

 

Sorry about the delay.

We might have a small problem. We went to a tint place to tint our sunroof and the guy told us that in extreme heat it will begin to bubble We tinted it anyway to see how long it will last without bubbling.

Our other hope is that the company making us the roof's can (smoke) them for us. They did say they could make them in bronze or titanium, but I'm not sure if in black. We will contact them tomorrow and find out if they could, and at what extra charge.

A few more pics

 

Looks Awesome
Very clean!

Can't wait to see how it comes out!

<edit> I'm not sure how far your gonna go with this project, but are you thinking about adding a piece to put inside to cover the sunroof? That way people can still enjoy the perks of a moonroof without having to switch back and forth depending on weather etc.?

 

The pictures look great.

I thought lexan stock was available in gray or skoke tint?

Anyway tint film should work with no problem.
The metalized type would be best. (We don't have to worry about laser speed detectors from above.)

 

Even if the tint bubbles, Thats a small price to pay to have it redone every couple of years or so. No biggy as far as I'm concerned.

looks good how long befor you start making the 20?

 

Maybe there's a way to modify the existing trim panel and get it to fit up, or find one from an aftermarket or factory sunroof.

Good work! I look forward to the final product and pricing.

 

Now what about some sort of thing that slides under it so when you dont want the sun beating down on you?

 

Good news

We went to the company today and they told us they can sell them to us "smoked". It's like a dark bronze, so know we dont have to worry about the tint. The guy told us he guarantes the sunroof will outlast the life of the car

The other good news as that we won't have to jack up the price. I will have make a minimum of 25 though to keep the same price.

My friend and I came up with a conclusion.

The first 25 will go for $165 shipped anywhere in the US
(canada still wating on price)

after that they will sell for $180

we will build one more final roof with the bronze tint, so you guys can see. But it pretty much looks the same as the pictures above.


BTW: It weighs 4lbs

 

Whats the install like?

 

Piece of cake.

I'll post some more pics when we do our next roof, and will include pics of the entire process.

PS: sorry about the spelling in my prior post.

 

I want to be panel #1 !!!

 

I would like one of the first 25 if possible...
What's your prefered way of payment?
I'm guessing paypal, but I'm not sure how that works...

-Cyrus

 

The thing with paypal is the % they charge that sucks

When I bought my Microtech in the group buy, if I wanted to paypal I had to send an extra $50 I think it was. So I just sent them a mony order so I can save the paypal charges.

I'll find out how much the precentage paypal charges unless one of you already knows, can you please post it. I do have a paypal account if this is the way you prefer to send money.

 

depends, are you selling them via merch. account, or just as a regular paypal customer. They charge differently for both. BTW, I want one, but I want a dark bronze one so that it'll sorta match my stock paint.

 

its like 1.25 percent or something, not a big deal on 200$

 

i want one of the first batch

 

Count me as 1 of 25.
