Default C/F sunroof plug

I finally got around to installing my sunroof plug. Some of you know that my sunroof came out at the track that night. I was going to try to fab one up out of fiberglass but it turned out to be a bigger headache than I thought so I went with the C/F kit.

I cannot recommend this kit. It is ridiculously overpriced and nowhere in the description was it said that the brackets are "weld in." I had to go rent a welder since I don't own one. Other than the actual CF piece, they may have about 5 bucks invested in this kit. There isn't even a pre-fab gasket. It comes with a stinkin' tube of gasket maker. Weak.

The good is that the piece is quality and the whole thing weighs about 2lbs. compared to the 40ish of my old sunroof assembly. Looks pretty good too.





Havent' put the headliner back in yet.

Well, the motor was burned out anyway. If I wanted to use it I had to crank it by hand.
