Looks clean. I am just not a fan of cutting structural beams. But it does look nice.

No structural beams were cut. He had the headliner removed in five minutes and I had a good look at what they were going to do. They cut out a thin piece of steel (a section of roof) and moved a small aluminum rod that helped support the antenna.

That looks GREAT!!!

The Z should come with a sunroof, at least as an option.

I really don't think it detracts from the lines of the car too much.

I'm a fan of sunroofs if you don't care about tracking or weight.

Looks Good!

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.

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.
