Due to an "oops" moment, I need to repair or replace the center roof section on my 996 race car. Just the outer sheet metal skin, no structural parts.
Does anyone have the p/n and source for the 996 outer roof skin and whatever else is needed?
I had heard the non-sunroof skin was about $200, but I can only find parts that list for close to $1000.

Thanks,
Jon

Any dealer will know the part number. I just did this with my 2001 996. The skin was about $350 and the labor for removal and install was $1800. It is amazing how much weight is over your head. The sunroof alone weighs more than the entire replacement skin.

I used the GT3 skin which is very light. IIRC it was about $300. R & R is fairly simple, my labor was $500 to R & R inc. paint on a race car...

Thanks.
Interior is already stripped - sheet metal sunroof panel is held in place with brackets - no lining, tracks, weatherstripping, etc. Dealer price for the panel is closer to $500 now. Might be cost effective to just repair the dings.
