possible factory?

You don't want to mess with aftermarket sunroof, messes with structural integrity and is more prone to leaking. Will never be as good as factory job. Unless you talked them down 2000k and have committed why not find one with sunroof.

Bluetooth, there will be a ton of options for that...
Sunroof, I would agree with JP, don't do it unless you want a whole mess of problems.
To me doing that would be a great way to jack up your nice new ride.

plus its gonna be even harder with the reverse mohawk

Better off waiting for the extra $$ to afford adding the sunroof to your order imo...
Unless you wanted some unique and crazy sunroof done that is nothing like the factory one.

I looked into buying a Camaro w/o factory sunroof and going aftermarket. The shop I called was very knowledgable and quoted me $1,800 because they send out to body shop to uncrimp the reverse mohawk to make the sunroof leakproof. He said if it was his decision, buy a sunroof from the FACTORY!

When a guy has his own shop, and recommends getting one FACTORY, that should tell you something. get it from the factory, or don't get one at all.

Totaly agree if sunroof is important I would hold out and get one factory! The price range would be the same getting it factory than having it done aftermarket plus if you have problems with factory one then warrinty will cover your issues. But those are just my thoughts.

cant belive someone would even consider that anymore take those guys advice stick with factory opt u will be better in the long run

LOL Derin does come up with awesome hypothetical questions then disappears to post another one in a few days.

So how is your black V6 going? You said over a week ago you bought a 1SS, then you were going to post some pics of your "new" 1SS yesterday. Where is it?

Owtlaw333 · 08-22-2009, 11:48 PM

Sunroofs are overrated anyways. I never use the one I have and it only adds weight which sucks for cornering (not that many on this site care about that kinda stuff

lol)
