997 GT3 north american SUNROOF removal?
#16
I can't wait to see the finish product! I'm always looking for your posts, I love what you've done with your GT3.
Seriously I think the non-sunroof mod is a must, it was almost a deal killer for me that the US GT3 was only available with a hole in the roof.
I would like to talk to you about my time line, however I'm not a member and I can't PM you (I'm waiting to be a P.owner).
I did a search and I can't find the pictures of your car since you decided not to sale it anymore, can I have some pictures?
Let me know...

I don't believe you need to be a Porsche owner to join Rennlist, and the fees are extremely reasonable. You and I both know that you WILL get a GT3, whether it is mine or someone elses does not matter. So I suggest you join right away and unlock the full potential of the forum that sets the bar for the rest of the world; kind of like the GT3!
I should be able to PM you; I will send you my email and phone number so you can do the same.
Take care and come join us "officially!"

No, would not do that. If anything I would go with the CF front fenders and do the WC package from GMG; well, my version of it anyway. I am going to stick with my PCCB's if I ever get them done. Here I am taking a leave of absense from work for 2 months and I can't get myself to finish this project. The hard part is even over (not that it was THAT difficult).
i believe grussell has done the RS rear fenders on his GT3. so, if one did the sunroof delete option (metal or CF) and the added the RS rear fenders, to me that would be an ideal car.

You can't PM me? I seem to remember that before I became a member I just needed a few posts on here and I was good to go. I then quickly became a member (2 year membership) because this is by far the best forum I have ever encountered. The quality of the posts, the knowledge, the comradery, maturity, and most importantly, the common sense and lack of PC bull**** that I find happening on so many other forums.

Thanks 340Elise!
Yes I can PM you. Sorry I thought I couldn't. I am becoming a member, I was just too lazy!
I'll get back to you...

If I knew I was keeping my 3 for a long time this would be my first mod. Could you maybe give a few more details of cost and weight reduction. With the CF you glue it in like the M3 I would think. Did you paint the CF roof? I personally would for the stock look, but leaving would not require paint matching and such.

Very True. I know one for sale here in CA. Orange/Black at $160 range. I am starting to think I should have as I drive much less than I anticipated. RS would been perfect. Just keep on tracking... and line up for next RS

Is there a way to just remove the electric motor and secure the sunroof in place? That would probably save most of the weight penalty with our non-glass sunroof and could be reversable. you could even just replace the sunroof panel with a cf piece and still have it reversable. just a thought.
I think replacing the roof with the Porsche part is a better, cheaper option and not that difficult since the roof is just tack welded.
