Add me to the list! I'd definately be interested in one... It must be functional though, and I'd definately prefer not to have any bolt heads or anything sticking out of the top... Pure cf would be nice, but if you throw some fiberglass in there to keep the cost down I can live with it, so long as its not visible from the top. I'd be willing to pay whatever the going rate is. Though I'd be unappy if it had to exceed $300

whats the diff in weight between the carbon fiber sunroof and a metal replecation?
I mean, we can't be talking about THAT much weight being saved...
anybody know what another metal one would cost? (mabye alum?)

I'd check a parts yard for a replacement, but good luck finding one that isn't rusted out.

the bolts on the outside wouldnt look nice but i dont mind it from the inside. if it's functional i'd pay no more than $220. i'd like to find the glass one but can't seem to find it

The steel stock sunroof panel is hefty- I just freed mine from a broken sunroof assembly and it weighs 15-20 pounds.
If someone has time and experience, I can send my sunroof piece (needs to be sanded and painted), fiberglass, resin, gel coat, and just about all the other necessary parts to make a mold and then pull parts.
