Default Carbon Sunroof ~ Jean H

Jean here are pictures of my carbon sunroof. After you remove your sunroof there are 4 studs that are perfect to mount the carbon piece on. They even have wing nuts on them. Drill the holes add a big washer on each for mounting the carbon sunroof. Use any good sealant to waterproof the sunroof. I used fish tank silcone. Run a thick bead in the crease around the complete sunroof and mount in place witht the 4 wing nuts. All done. Mine has been in for about 2 years with no leaks or issues.

Ebay $250. Removes a lot of weight from the highest spot in the car. One of the best weight reduction mods. Chad's carbon pieces are high quality. I got mine for half price with a little blemish but I never found the issue Chad said was there. Chad is great to work with.

No it's easier just stand on the sunroof and fall right in. Nobody is driving off they will have to tow it. Inside they will need some time to take out the electronics. If I do catch someone messing with my car I will confront them with a 18 1/4" 12-gauge with 00 Magnums. I do have good 32fps color and night video that loops about every 4 months so I have 4 months of video for all the cameras. They shoot all the time at 10fps then when there is motion detected they jump to 32fps.

I dread the day I walk out and some of my stuff is missing Man I hate a theif

Perfect tool to smash the window...

That would be hilarious to see someone trying to get into the car by cutting through the sunroof, talk about suspicious looking.

My names John but Jean is ok too. No problems in 17-18 years. I had a low rider truck a long time ago and got hit hard...2 ~ 15" Earthquake subs, Kenwood CD head unit, 2 ~ Rockford Fosgate amps 150W both bridged 1ohm, 1 ~ Sherwood amp multi-channel 600W, Tokarev pistol with the following caliber barrels fitted for the gun 9mm, 38 special and 7.62 including clips in a case, thick rope gold necklace. Found out who did it about 2 weeks later, never recovered anything.

With this car I don't leave anything of value in the car and if I do I park it in a safe spot if possible. There is no way to drive off with it unless you steal my keys for EWS and know something else about starting it. Flat bed will work but I can find it quickly

Man you guys are getting me worried....

I post up some pictures of my carbon sunroof so a member can see what it looks like and now the thread has gone off course about "How easy it would be"

You all are responsible for any nightmares I have tonight. Ok? and I have to be up @ 4:30 to catch a flight to Huntville, AL. My evening flight was canceled due to weather in Atlanta.

I'm going to have my wife drive me to the airport tomorrow morning so the car can stay home under surveillance while I'm out of town.
