I am taking lunch in less than an hour so I will drop it off then. You are about 15 minutes according to Mapquest so I will go after I am done eating.

 

WOO WOO

Where you able to deliver the sun roof?

 

omg plz

 

We need conformation from ken.............still waiting..........lol

 

...
(cries a little to himself)
is it really about to start happening??
this thing has taken forever, its been like waiting for a gran turismo game to come out....you know, release gets pushed back every 3 months for like 2 years.


but at least when it does come out, it effing rocks!

 

can't wait im interested if i can find a job but im sure with this many people interested that it will be an available part after this all ends.

 

Y_Y tears*




:')

 

so did you ever drop off you sunroof?

 

Hmmm, just saw this... I live about a half hour from Shine and have a mint stock sunroof on my FC now.

Let me know if you still need one Ken. I still have to show you how the front fenders came out.

 

Just dropped off a few hours ago The progress begins

 

YEAH!!!

 

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The skeleton is complex. The tabs to insert the carpet covering will not be there. It will simply have to be glued or double-sided taped onto the skeleton.

We have to rework the skeleton to create a more simplified version to drive down cost.

I'm sure no one will complain ken. Thx again. And thx to JDMGtdriver as well.

 

If that its it, then I'm cool with that!

 

I don't even have a headliner bwahahaha!

 

I've got to be honest, If its not a factory replacement which keeps the original fixings then I wouldn't be interested. I don't think its worth compromising to save a few $$.

 

I actually tend to agree with you, problem is almost nobody else will, and people dont mind rigging it up instead of doing it right, and I will just ago along since this is a serious part need for these cars . ;/

 

i would prefer to spend a little extra cash to get it done right.
thats the whole point on got on board, because i figured if shine was doing it, it would get done 100% right.
can you tell us what the difference in price would be between the two?

 

I'm fine with double sided tape. I just care that it is flush and the seal sits right.

 

Well I guess we'll just have to compare the price and availability of finding an OEM sunroof in good condition, that might eventually rust like the old one, against this light weight fiberglass unit with shipping and a roll of 3M tape...

 

There really IS no comparison, the lack of availability of a real OEM unit IS why there is 50 people in line for this. I think Ken giving us a realistic price estimate for doing it both ways is the best scenario.

Myself I wouldnt mind mine being CF with Glass framework hows that for a nice option


let us know all the options Ken.

Im all for quality, since day one. I would rather pay out the ***, then cheap out.
thanks for getting this started ken

I care that it wont twist under harsh driving conditions. Say like drifting or grip runs

 

The skeleton is the most complex part about the project because it is too detailed and will drive up production cost big time. Labor = high cost.

We were thinking about flattening out the whole area so it barely resembles a skeleton. This would benefit those who dont mind not running a carpet covering. Instead, you will see a smooth FRP or CF piece from the inside of the car.

Since it is flat, you will also have the option of double-side taping or glueing the carpet covering as well.

Having the clips in place (we have no idea where to even get the clips), drilling holes, making sure the holes align perfectly (there are lik 8 clips) requires way too much attention to detail and little room for error for a part we're looking to target at the $200 price. Just being realistic.
