carbon/fiberglass sunroof

Hi guys,been reading here for a while but this is my first post.
2 month ago i picked up a 1989 red GTS as my daily driver
it needs a lot of work butit has potential. today i was reminded of my rusted
sunroof by leaking rainwater, i was thinking about changing the sunroof for a carbon fiber one and add a new rubber seal. our company makes one for the FC.




im going to make one for the ae92 but i might hurry up if it sparks interest among ae92 owners lmk what you guys think, Thanks.
Paulo.

AE92 Trueno GTZ hoods made out of CF would be cool...

Man I just got done taking my sunroof apart and fixing the rust on it as well. The carbon fiber one looks pretty sick. I like it.

that why i had my friend make one, mine was rusted to hell.
beyond repair actually the only way to fix it is welding steel to replace the
rusted section if you dont it comes back.

fazzt73 post some pics after install, I would like to see the fitment of this as you don't have as much room for error as with a cf hood lets say. Just don't want any leaks from it. If all is good I'll most likely take one.

for sure, the panel is an exact replica of the oem one top and bottom, im expecting no leaks because the way the mold was done. most hoods out there are done diferently.
i will let you guys now, Thanks.
Paulo.

Did you spray water over it without the headliner up? Any leakage? Fit looks nice.
