S14 aftermarket sunroof back to a hardtop - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Toomuchboost12 · 07-18-2013, 12:29 AM

so when i bought my car it had a sunroof in it but it was a aftermarket one . i have the original spec of my car . like literally the nissan papers that shows the vin the color code everything . it was a SE Hardtop 97 Kouki . btw my sunroof is manual it a push up one. so im wondering is there any way to make it back to a hardtop . because im pretty sure the sunroof i have is bigger than the OEM S14 Sunroof . i have no leaks or anything i just want it to be a hardtop again . just wondering if its possiable ? ... ill take pics later . thanks in advance !

Perhaps a roof skin off of a donor/parts car
Other option maybe an aftermarket delete panel.
If its too large only thing left is to weld in a plate

I need to run through every post on that blog and upload the photos directly to blogger, photobucket is blocked in some places and I'm ready to stop hosting my shit there anyway. That blog post doesn't have the photos there anylonger, I just haven't deleted them because they tell me which files used to be there.

Once photobucket updated their layout it changed all of their fucking links.

Wow congrats that looks good ! . how much $$ did it cost you in all to do the whole thing

Roof skin was about $500 and the two support pieces that go underneath were about $100 each. Im good friends with the people that did the work on the roof so I didnt get charged the normal rate. It was worth it.
