good buy!
ive seen several aftermarket sunroofs at the junk yard but it seems like every one has one problem, either latches broken, power motor is missing or glass busted

but anyways since you say yours is tinted mirror factory then it will be hard to give it a black exterior look! and putting the tint on the outside will be bad since it will get scratched up and need to be redone at least every year most likely.... but it will look good

and did you use that rope style calk or liquid or spray stuff? if the rope windshield stuff id pull that out and use the spray in liquid windshield stuff. it seals GREAT! ive been thru hell with that dam rope calk crap before.

I actually used black skylight caulk. No leaks so far. I had a little moisture around the factory glass-to-gasket seal but tweeking the bar that holds in the glass solved that.

I have been talking about glassing over the 4 vents in the front fender when I get ready to paint it and you would be amazed at how many people tell me to keep them. I think they are just there for the sake of being there. I don't really get them but eveyone seems to like them.

Do those people really know anything about cars? The reason I ask is because a lot of people who don't tend to like a lot of really tacky mods, such as those fender vents.
