Default 5 Dollar Sun-Roof

A buddy of mine found this at a yard sale for 2 bucks and wouldn't let me pay him for it.

Other than a 5 dollar tube of skylight caulk, the labor was freeeeeeeeee!!!!

It was dirty and had some cob-webs on it along with scratches in the trim, but that didn't bother me at all.

Thats really not bad looking at all. I have to admit that's a pretty clean job and for 5 bucks, you cant go wrong.

Yeah man, there's a fine line between criticism and bashing. You gotta walk the line if that's the intent of your post.

Yes the whole thing comes out. It has a semi-mirrored tint on the outside of it already but yes, it needs tint. The light it lets in is still really bright.
