any more of these going to be made? I might have just required the need for another..
|
uh...what the hell did you do?
|
well i got the wrapped sunroof today, then i had to preform some emergency braking on williston and it now has a nice scratch courtesy of a yellowtop
|
So are these still available? And are there any that remove the functionality / mechanism?
|
looks good to me! i always wanted to do this when i was actually building my car, but i couldnt find anyone who sold a CF sunroof plug/replacement for the FD.
Over the last 10years that i have been doing bodywork, ive came to terms with myself that any/all aftermarket "oem fit" CF or fiberglass body panels...WILL NEED some fine tuning of some sort to get that proper fitment no matter how legit the manufacturer. Its all just a matter of how creative you can get while keeping it clean in order to make it fit like it should. I dont even wanna talk about how many hours i have tied up in my pettitt flares to get the correct fit and look while making everything structurally sound. PS, i dont know how, but i scored a new OEM sunroof weather seal from a mazda dealership for $15.99!! Someone screwed up somewhere and i wasnt about to try to find out who! super stoked haha |

Hi Eddie,
This project was certainly enlightening with how difficult CF sunroofs really are and why few vendors want to touch them. This roof has all the complexity of a hood but you can't make component panels any stiffer because you're constrained on thickness as well. As previously asked, are more of these available? |
after the fixes with Ronins support, these two humps are still evident.
|
They are still available, but the dual sided carbon will likely not be offered. Check the Ronin site if you are interested.
