Gauging Interest: Carbon Fiber Sunroof for MK2 Supra

Hey folks;

so now that the hatch group buy is well on the way I asked Advan for details on the viability of making MK2 Sunroof Panels. I gave them detailed pictures so they were able to get me a very accurate quote. In order to give people a "break" between purchases I would only start this after the hatch group buy was all done and orders were shipped out.

Unlike the hatch group buy we will be able to offer slightly lower pricing for the group buy than we can through outside of group buy sales. But much like the hatch group buy we'd need 30 to get this done.

List Price on Advan's Site IF these get built will be: $399 + Shipping
List Price on Raptor Site IF these get built will be about: $350-$375 + Shipping
Group Buy Price: $299 + Shipping

For those with rusty sunroofs who don't want to take their chances on finding a ubber mint junkyard find these will be a perfect match. If anyone knows the weight of the metal on an OEM sunroof I'd love to know as to me if it's significant any amount of weight you can save from the highest point in the car = HUGE bonus. These are a complete swap and not just the cover.

Does this mean you have sourced, or are going to source, new seals?

I'm in if the appropriate seals can be obtained.

will

I just weighed mine. Nothing mounted on it. just the metal
13 pounds.

How about a "dry" carbon fiber insert/overlay? Probably add only 500 grams

Could also be made in one piece with composite rubber trim, mould a venturi-vent and delete sunroof motor :twocents:

It'd be a fun project, but I have a hard-top :sarcasm:

I'm in for a sunroof panel.

It would also be nice to see...

  1. Flares, stock size in front and larger for the rear. All four without the relief for the body side molding.
  2. Doors with window frames.
  3. Header panels.
  4. Gas cap covers.
  5. Front fenders.
  6. Windshield cowl/wiper rest.
  7. Rocker panel trim.
  8. Low profile headlight refit for lights that aren't hidden.

For what it's worth if anyone has any NOS of these that they don't need anymore fire me off a PM. I figure I'll need to start having some of these in a central location if we're going to have a better chance of getting this done.

Can someone who hasn't voted please let me know if the poll is still open or closed?
