Puttin' on a moonroof Options

[Cody]

My girlfriend says that a shop in her town will install a moonroof on your car for $200. Should I believe her, or is that kinda sketchy sounding?

[Coomer]

I dunno...it seems like a moonroof would be a lot of work, so I'd think that it'd cost a lot more than that, but I'm not sure. I'd go to the shop and ask to see examples of moonroofs that they've added to cars, and maybe talk to a couple of their clients, and then make a decision.

see if there is a tops and trends branch near you. they specialize in convertible tops, custom moon/sun roofs, and interior stuff. i think a normal moonroof job is like 800-1000. i could see 200 if she knows someone and has a hookup, but that just might be for the install, not purchasing the parts as well.

Coomer is right. Be expecting to pay around 1,000+. Wanted a moonroof myself but changed my mind after being quoted.

[Cody]

Heh, well, forget that then.

It may be a pop-up (manual) sunroof. I got one of those put in my old car for about 300 a couple of years ago.

if he had a sunroof, it's not glass. sunroofs are the color of the car.

Youre probably thinking about T-tops......that would be pretty cool to have done, as long as it didnt cost you an arm and a leg.

I wonder how much it would cost for a targa top, that would be sweet but I'm sure it would be 1,500 + cause I'm sure they would have to add all kinds of re-enforcements to the frame.

Anyone ever get a price quote on that??

DONT GET AN AFTERMARKET MOONROOF !!!
All i hear is awful things about those - they leak - badly. I have a moonroof in my car, and i dont kno if its stock or not cuz it was in when i got the car. But it leaks so bad - may have to seal it shut.

a custom targa job will be about 5-7K to have it done right. and i wouldn't have just any body shop do it, go to one where they have done it several times. you don't want to be the first attempt.

Which one are you talkin about? T-top's like supra or t-tops like Mr2/300ZX?

supras don't have t tops...but i know what you mean...the targa top where the whole roof comes out...

t-tops like the mr2 like you said. and also camaros, old monte carlos, etc.
