Is It Possible + Where To Get A Custom Sunroof Fitted?

[Spunky Munky]

Hey fellas,

With summer coming up in the next few months - I want to be prepared and therefore will spend some money on my car and will get a custom runroof put in - the question is, is this possible, if so would it look flush factory-like, where and how much would it cost?

Moreover, has anyone ever installed an after-market sunroof on - your experiences and does it work properly - any pics of how a Skyline with a sunroof would look like? Are all sunroofs on Skylines aftermarket mods or are some factory options?

I found these guys, any good?

Skylines did come with factory option sunroofs... not sure on the aftermarket side of things, have never really heard of any good success stories, usually leaks are present, etc. Hopefully someone on here has done it and can point you in the right direction. I have to say though, I'm glad my 33 has a sunroof, it gets so much use!

hmm, i wouldnt go cutting a hole in the roof or ur car mate.

ur handling and performance will suffer.

think they cost upward of a 1000 to get a decent job. you would want the sunroof to retract into the actual roof which, is a decent amount of customisation. i looked into it a while ago, thinking a few hundred bucks would be sweet, but no.

never heard any glamourous stories of aftermarket sunroofs in any car to be honest.

dosnt a sports car with a sunroof need some extra reinforcents thru the body to keep it stiff? or does that only apply to convertibles?
