I'm interested as well.

More interior shots would be great... get some good lighting in there so we can see how clean things are from the inside.

How's the roof during early afternoons, when the sun is directly above and beating down on you?

Countersinking and making the bolts flush with the top(even better, surfaced over as mentioned above) would be a definite plus, and would prevent anyone from being able to simply unscrew the top to get into the car.

Anyway, great work so far...

Okay, whats the hold up? I will buy one tommorow.. for the money it's no big deal. If I'm not happy with it, i will use it as a frisbie. I will take some Hi-Res pic's and host them, and give an unbiased opinon on the looks, and install.

Just tell me how to pay, and send me one.

Repost.

Oh yea but if it's reasonably priced i will Buy one from you..Tell me how thick it is.I get my white 90 turbo II soon and if i get to see the video of the product and i think it's better than what i would make i am in also..

Also I also Find people who Post negative comments, RUDE!!I find This Lexan Sunroof to be a Nice add on. Weather you do it yourself or buy it.So to people who have to comment on anything use your logic first.
I would Just Slim Jim the Car if i were to steal a FC.
So easy takes me about 1 second with a coat hangar to get in =)

Also i am designing a sheet metal block for my car locks,to block the rods behind the FC3s so it can't be slim jimmied.=)Anybody intrested in those PM me.i make sheet metal Stuff.=)

sorry guy's but I could'nt get **** done today. I think I'm getting sick.

I'm borrowing my friends camera tomorrow so I can take some interior pics. and If everyone is happy, we could get this group buy started.

for those who skiipped page 8

BTW: If you read all my posts you can see that this is not regular lexan. Sure we could of made them from lexan for much cheaper, but they would'nt be as tough as these.

The screws are being cut as week speak to fit flush with the nut.





we're also looking for small black plastic covers for the nutts.

I hope we can find some. I think it will look much nicer.

One question. I don't know if this has been done yet or not. But have you taken it through an automated car wash yet? I want to know this thing seals good. I hope this wasn't asked already. :-)

When you make the group buy post, will it be in the 2nd gen specific for sale section, or the group buy section? I dont want to miss it. And is that $165 , including shipping?
