And yes we still have the mold. We have a honeycomb weave carbon that I'd like to try as I think it'd look amazing.
Is this JUST replacing the glass or did you replace everything with this one piece?
if not how much does just the glass weigh?
IF so, how did you fix it in place?

I'm looking to do the same thing cause i never use my sunroof.

My steel replacement panel and body work is a non-leak job, but you also have to have a new custom headliner made. $400-500

Thanks for the compliment ems. I lucked out and met a retired sheet metal worker that was also a custom car body man. Plus I talked him into taking the job on and at a good price. $550
