Installing a sunroof? Good or Bad Idea.
 

I have a 92 civic 4 door, I would like to get a pop up sunroof installed in it, Is this good or bad, I mean the factory roof is just sheet metal, so If I was ro teinforce around where the glass would go then I should be fine right?

no need to reinforce imo, since the sunroof itself is a pretty sturdy piece

why don't you put a turbo on your car first. besides a sunroof is only good for one thing, chopping cats heads off.

no really, pop up sun roofs are ------- gay as ----.

why don't you tell him what you're really thinking, haha

i agree, dont waste money on a sunroof, i like the smooth lines on a roof with no sunroof
less wind drag and you have more money to go fast

I have a sunroof on my Civic and I think its only been open like once in a year and that was because some chick thought it was cool. Its a waste dude, dont blow money on it.

sunfroofs are nice, but eh. If anything because it seems like a lot of work, have a moon roof installed. Cut out the metal and just slap in a piece of plexiglass. The thing with these 'aftermarket' sunroofs/moonroofs though are they tend to leak. At least that was the case with the 'aftermarket' sun/moonroofs I encountered. And yea I'm sure there are some places that do a good enough job for where it won't leak.

don't do it! it will drop the resale value of your car dramatically.

Re: Installing a sunroof? Good or Bad Idea.
 

i wouldnt do it. besides its not like your gonna win any shows with your custom sunroof itll be cool for like a day cuz you can stick your head out of it than itll be gay and youll want your normal roof back

I want the Turbo Daewoo pics!!!!

Everyone I know that has had an aftermarket roof put in has regreted it. It is a lot of money for not a lot of function.

i did it on a truck i had, i loved it. I would never do it to a nice car though, my factory civic one is awesome though

I have a power sunroof or moon roof whatever in my EF and i LOVEIT!! I have a sunroof out a sunbird?? that i'm gonna put in my truck they are nice to have, but i paid $5 and i'm putting it in with a jigsaw....soon as i get my cast off. Don't spend morethen $10 and don't pay to have it put in

Re: Installing a sunroof? Good or Bad Idea.
 

Yeah but its not like I plan to sell it, this car will get put away or scrapped before it gets sold.

I ment moon roof, I just want something with a puch up style handle so I can pop it out, I can get a glass one from a 89 civic.

maybe its cuz every single car since when I started driving had a sunroof/moonroof and I wouldnt mind having one again, I actually used it every day in the summer.

Re: Installing a sunroof? Good or Bad Idea.
 

You know I can fab one in myself, basically what I plan to do is go to a wreckers, cut one off with the sourounding metal off another civic, then just line it up and weld it to my car, and reinforce it under the head liner. towards the side beams with stainless steel strips, so it helps against the weight of the glass caving in the roof shapel

Go ---- yourself.

Re: Installing a sunroof? Good or Bad Idea.
 

I don't know why, but sunroofs do nothing for me.


My sentra has a sunroof, and it has a cover to pull over it so it looks like theres no hole? (you know what the ---- I'm talking about) If that cover is open I can't stand it, let alone actually opening the glass portion of it.


Really, what do sunroofs do? ???

Re: Installing a sunroof? Good or Bad Idea.
 

In the summer say i'm taking a cruise down the highway(to an HMT meet for example) I like to take the glass out and just have it open, I used to do that on my civic and 240sx, this way I dont have to roll the wondows down and still get the breeze

Re: Installing a sunroof? Good or Bad Idea.
 

lol, I can't believe you got that pissed you -----. don't reply.

Re: Installing a sunroof? Good or Bad Idea.
