A few people have asked me about the sunroof delete, so I am sure a bump of this old thread wouldnt hurt

pics of my car after the sunroof delete and fresh paint...
Any more pics of the entire car? What color green is that?

I did the sunroof delete myself with a friend last year (except for the paint- let a shop do that). We started around 9 AM and had the roof in and welding completed by dinner time. Totally worth the time and relatively low cost for the weight savings up high!

The bodshop constructed a new roof panel using the old skin, and welded it in.
