S15 Silvia

[salemf]

OK so im inches away from buying a silvia....I love it in White and in Red....A bit more in red though but i love Sunroofs! The white one i looked at had a factory sunroof....the red one didnt....i called up 1 place today to see if they could fit a factory sunroof in and they said they couldnt because they didnt have the nessasary rig?

Does anyone know if i buy a factory sunroof are there places that will professionally install it or a cabable of installing it?

Iv already sourced all the nessasary parts for the sunroof for $400.....

Thoughts?

P.S. Oh and do you like silvia's in red or white better!

I think best idea is to wait until you find the one you want in the right colour and features you want such as sunroof etc.

Keep looking, there are plenty of S15's around.

White or Red? Well, it's up to you. Red cars go faster don't they?

I'd say cutting into the roof and installing a sunroof would be a costly process.

I'd personally buy the white one and respray it a unique red, rather than install an aftermarket sunroof on the red.

Then again, Nismoman's idea is even better.

Might sound weird but sun-roofs lessen the cars structural rigitity. Thats why Subaru only put them on Impreza WRX models and not Impreza STi

Sorry, thought I would share it. I like white Silvias

Plus, if your tall as in 6ft plus, you WILL hit your head on the roof if the car has a sunroof.

And if you ever go to the track, you will need to wear a helmet, that space gets even more crowded!

Non sunroof model FTW!

sorry mate i dont understand, is the sunroof model is the roof height lower? And yes i intend to take it to a track....

[phatlavish]

the roof lining will sit slightly lower with the sunroof mechanism and the extra trim pieces bolted to the actual roof

Go the white one. With no kit and a nice set of wheels I think they look great. And as above a sunroof will give you less head room and once you put a helmet on you may find it a bit tight for space. It's crazy to cut a hole in a perfectly good roof.

We bought a 180sx with a manual sunroof because that actually provides more headspace as it does not have the motors and what not.

Wait until you find one with everything you want. It's alot easier.

You should look up the Nissan Varietta too.

id keep looking!

im sure there will be a red one with a sunroof out there!

i found one when i was looking for my 33

it might only cost $400 to buy all the gear to put a sunroof in a car, but the cost of getting someone to professionally do it will cost much more than that. personally i wouldn't even think of putting a sunroof in a car that didn't already have 1, but then i'm not a big fan of sunnroofs anyway. they are more for the wank factor than anything and as people have said, they reduce headroom, which being tall, i like to have plenty off.

also sunroofs leak. it might not leak now, but eventually ALL sunroofs will leak and then you will get rust in the roof.

They only come NA from the factory.

nothing wrong with red as such biggest issue i have with it is if it starts to fade you get yourself a pink car lol.

As has been said wait till you find one with everything you want or go for the one your most happy with otherwise
