Had 370Z Sunroof Installed

Looks great! I've been thinking about doing it myself and now I'm sure I will as I have the same color. Thanks for posting the pics.

any leaks or anything silly like that?

Taking another look at your WONDERFUL sunroof pics and pondering over the notion, I quickly came to realize that for one simple reason, it would not be an option for lil' me.

Tan lines.

My tan lines would be a mess if I cruzed along the beach with a sunroof as opposed to a drop top. Being silly while enjoying your great mod.

Noone give me any grief about cutting a Nismo, but I'm talking to an installer in my area now to get the same thing done, I'm the same color too. Can't wait

Please no posts about whether a sunroof belongs in the 370Z - it is a matter of personal preference and really doesn't have an answer. However, if Porsche offers sunroof options on their $100,000 Carrera I think it is fine for the 370Z.

To answer some anticipated questions.
1) I watched them remove the section of roof and their are no structural components in the section they take out. There is a small aluminum roof stiffener that is no longer needed with the sunroof.

2) You are adding about a total of 20-25 lbs when the job is completed. It will be less if you go with the medium 321. Frankly, I was surprised that the larger sunroof fit but I think it looks great.

3) Webasto manufactures 50% of the worlds factory sunroofs so they seem to know what they are doing.

4) With the sunroof closed, the car is just as quiet as it was before. In fact,
when the shade is pulled you just forget that it is there. Have experineced no rattles at all.

5) Controls are great. You can preset two positions (and has other buttons to open it as little as you want) - I have them set for vent and full open and when you turn off the ignition the roof automatically closes.

6) The rollo shade works fine and is the same color as the interior.
You know where I can get one installed in the Maryland area?

i like the sunroof but the Z wasnt mean to have one. theres a reason it wasnt an option. this car was put in a wind tunnel the shaved and then tested again. if you look the roof lines follow the hoods. but hey atleast you can see the sky while your not racing your car.

thanks for posting it up man! Don't mind what others saying it look like crap. I personally think it's kinda sad how Nissan didn't give that as an option. I rarely use the sunroof, but every car I've own had one, and it's nice to know it's there. It does look very clean! Good job. I do notice that car originally had 2 contours that runs along the room, I didn't think that blended with the sunroof very well, but then again, i think it's the best anyone could have done with the fact that this car doesn't come with a sunroof. Good job!

THANK YOU! My lease on my 08 G35S sedan is up and i was originally going to go new Z Roadster. But just couldn't see myself longer term with a drop top. So then I was back and forth between Z coupe and G37S. Wanted the Z for the smaller size...but no sunroof.

Two dealers said different things...yes and no.

Now i know yes and have seen it installed so will definately be going with the Z.

So...thanks!!!
