its an S4

I was about to go with a powdercoated yellow, same yellow as a civic type-r in japan or some kind of brighter yellow.

I wanted to keep the gold color since you dont see many fcs with this color.
Next weekend Im going to buff and wax the car to bring out the shine.

black just goes well period... actualy a Gold FC with Black 5stars would look hawt... looks really racey.
(oh great, now ive got a hard on...) lol

actualy the glass roofs are very rare... talk to 13b4me. He knows more than I.

I like Sunroof-less FCs myself.

i think it's just the way the trees (or something) reflect in the paint around the area below and behind the window. plus, the front tire is on the shoulder and a bit lower than the rear so it throws things off a bit. nothing to do with the car itself i don't think. either way, looks nice!

Yeah it's just like the stock steel panel. All it is is a piece of tinted glass with weatherstripping around it that replaces the steel panel and held on by 4 nuts. They stopped making them a long time ago from what I know.

I have my Pacific glass sunroof for sale if anyone is interested, in the parts for sale section...
