Did you replace it with a different unit or did you cut out a hole and put a sunroff in its place? Sunny days like this, I wish had one, no more wind in your face!

damn, that looks really nice. I would like to have something like that. I kinda just want like a hood vent or whatever, cause my AC doesnt work, and I'm going to remove it eventally actually, rather than fix it. Would be nice to have in the hot summers.

sounds like a plan. it was only AU $500 installed ( including unit ) wich is about US $395 i think. regards Marty.

very nice and no motor burning out worries

[africanmarty]

thanks ivanhoe nah no motor worries, though electric would have been nice too.

[atobe]

looks like OEM good work by whatever shop did it

Marty! That looks exellent!! That's a great bang-for-the-buck with regards to enjoyability.
Yeah, electric would have been nice, but personally I would never put an electric aftermarket one in my car. Best to have exactly what you've got there, with no worries.

BTW: your driveway is beautiful!!

ive actually found that a sun roof makes summer driving worse. air flow just doesnt move right with the windows down and sunroof open. not to mention how much hotter it gets with window in straight view of the sun.

not that im against sunroofs, i love them in the fall/spring

I want a sunroof now!


Well.. I'd *like* a sunroof now.. But it's not going to happen


*can still dream*

I need a speedo cable (lower half) first.. And a lot of mechanical work



*adds sunroof to ToDo list*

I'm most impressed by the interior trim work they did on the roof liner...looks pretty damn close to factory, alright.

Nice colour on the Camry, by the way! I've never seen them offered in that red here in North America. Just another bonus the Aussies get that we don't!

yer i was too very happy, looks very OEM like. i've noticed that alot of the USA guys/gals envy the Oz cams ??? why is that, what do we get that you guys dont *excluding clear indicators and now the red colour i have*

regards Marty.

[jgcertified]

The clear indicators maybe?
