Total cost was $150 for the Fenn Lane panel, and two weekends sweat equity. I wouldn’t hesitate to do this project again.
Fenn Lane Panel
You did it yourself! That's cost effective but requires more skills than I currently have. $150 for the panel is reasonable. I'm going to shop around to see what this would cost me to get someone to do this.
Why would you need new front and rear window seals?

Go for it! It’s worth the time and effort. Try to find a shop that’s familiar with the process as there’s a bit of a learning curve.
I cut the window seals to remove the front and rear windshields. You’ll want the glass out for a proper repainting of the roof. The glass should remain intact, but you’ll need new seals to replace them.

On new 911s, not getting a sunroof is said to lower resale value.
Which results in people making sure to get the sunroof. Increasing the rarity of sunroofless 911s. And evidently increasing their value in the long run.
Pretty ridiculous. That said, my car has a sunroof and I've never opened it. I'd just as soon not have it. Just another thing to break and leak.
Agree with all of this, especially the last point.
When I had the race car, I preferred a non sunroof 993; I could've used the extra headroom. With my pure street car, I actually use my sunroof on a regular basis and like it very much. No headroom issues for me since I no longer wear a helmet in the car. If it didn't have a sunroof, I'd be fine, though.

OP, if anyone asks you why your 993 is worth more with the sunroof delete, just show them Foxman's pictures and tell them they could always do it themselves!
In Italy the 993 was imported by Porsche Italia without the sunroof, which means, if you wanted, it was option.
I really never understood why so many 993 has been ordered with sunroof...ok, it was a time when Porsche wanted to show Mercedes to be able not only making usable but also very comfortable sport cars.
Maybe it has a sense jumping back in the past...but if I stop considering how a 993 should be, it must be definitely without sunroof, definitely with M030 suspensions and X51 kit (plus code 220).
I was looking for one without...if I wanted a sunroof, I would have had a look around for a Targa, one of the most beautiful 911 ever made.

So I'm going to take this back. It's the first really pretty weekend that we've had since I bought my car and I drove with the sunroof open, windows down.
As with practically everything in this car, it's pretty awesome. Huge greenhouse, big windshield and open air - first time I've ever liked a sunroof.
