On any case, I am not sure if I want the "improve panel"; those pics look funny, the OEM seal has not been installed on the panel (a potential problem, that has not been tested?), plus having to drill a hole out (I mean, wow, it really needs to be drilled).

If I would've had this info before I purchased the panel, I would've pass on it (to be 100% honest). My proposal to you, instead of sending me the new "improved" CF sun roof panel; I would rather have one of your less complex CF items (hard to have a bad mold onthose items).

For example, I paid $225 for the CF sun roof panel, would you consider replacing the bad CF panel for:
2 - MAZDA 86-91 RX7 CARBON FIBER RADIATOR PANEL = $79.99

You can keep the $65 ($159.98 - $225) difference for the hassle and wasted time. What do you say?

Elio, i will gladly send you the 2 radiator panels. give me a week since i dont have them in stock at the moment.

anybody else wants to get a CF sunroof panel for 150.00???
i need somebody imparcial who can test fit it and post his opinion.
pm me if interested, Paulo.

lazy and don't want to read. Are the sunroofs a direct fit, or are there still some flaws? Also, will the rubber weather strip? around the sunroof work?

About the "Stock weather strip thing":

If you read it carefully, it says "The part in question will not be able to use the stock seal"

And then later, "I will send you out the fixed roof that CAN use the stock seal"... or am I totally off?

There is more to it, but at this point; it seems that Paulo is trying to do the right thing, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

The one I have, its supposed to "accept" the headliner, but I haven't made it that far; becuase of fitment and the weather strip issue (you can't install the OEM weather strip to it).

It seems that they fixed the weather strip/fitment issue on the newer mold; but I would rather not be the test dummy (again).
