Probably due to the frame...

The engineers didnt build the car to have a sunroof. You would be surprised how much a sheet of metal can do, but looks nice...

Very clean looking install there. Personally I dont mind it. As someone mentioned above a Targo roof would rock as well.

Great work though. To see if someone in Aus can do it.

Lol

But that's no surprise. Lol

I'm all for making the car heavier............................only if I'm adding more horsepower.

I like this sun roof more and more everytime I look at it now.

An over all shot.

Not so close to the roof.

Thanks

Yeah, need to see a further away shot.

THAT IS CLEAN. it looks good! u should post up pics with it open and closed with the whole car. i dont think i would get it tho cuz i cant have the extra 25lbs+ on it when i hit the track. but like what Shunya said, "i like this sunroof more and more everytime i look at it". maybe if my wifey gets a z34 we'd get it installed lol

props for having the cojones to mod your roof.

Looks great, man! I'd like to see T-Tops too. That's the only thing I miss about my old TT Z. Well, that, and the brief state of unconsciousness I felt when stomping on the accelerator.
