It should be a factory option along with Electronic Stabilty Control, Cruise Control and Climate Control.

It really opens the interior of the car up. I have had no problems with leakage, and the car drives straight (!!??!!). Although it is a pop-up, the glass is removable for some open air motoring

Here's a pic with the glass removed from the Lawrence show in October

That sunroof looks great!!! You made a good choice with the black rims and the black projector lights as well; it really compliments the car color. Meteorite Metallic for the win!

Looks are one thing, but has anyone considered stuctural integrity? With such a small surface area for the roof, carving so much of it out for a sunroof opening would weaken the safety elements of the roof (just wondering).

I was present when the roof was cut open and the moonroof installed. Trust me, there was ZERO structural integrity in the tin snipped out. It was < or IS> as flimsy as cardboard, and the area contained no structural crossmembers. Nothing over your head but headliner and tin.

how much was the install for that?

if you really wanted the look of a sunroof on the cheap there are always the faux sunroofs!

The pre-post hack one was Violin's. He had a powered one in a Meteorite Metallic LB.

I saw a blazing blue LB in a Toronto hotel parking garage with one as well. It looked to be OEM (I think it is an option in some places other than the US).

I really want to put one in my LB. The Webatso 4300 is about the best looking one that I've seen. It retails for about $1000 installed. I can't seem to find the Webatso kit for sale - I'd really prefer to install it myself.
