    I have one, awesome mod and fantastic install. The glass is even curved with the roof line so it looks absolutley factory. 99GT by the way.

    ya mine is the same way, i didn't know if a previous owner had installed it or if it came like that from the factory, and they do work good too, no leaks or anything. also looks good with the 3 1/2 % tint on it too with rest of vehicle. is yours power.

    No it's not power, it just clocks up in three different positions. Mine was dealer installed when the original owner bought it. I cringed a bit at first because it is a documented 35th anny but then I thought; it is a 35th anny:shrug:

    The first owner had one installed in my Mystic (at first I was like wtf, but now love it). Unlike most I've seen, it is a power roof.

    Most roofs i've seen are flat and not curved. IMHO, it looks like poo on a curved roof like the Mustang has. It reminds me of this

    I've seen a few with curved glass that look good, but I see more aftermarket sunroofs i don't like...than ones i have liked

    I know what your saying, I'm glad mine is contoured to the roof, you barely notice it from a few feet away. However pop it off in the summer and it's pretty nice. Having the full lenghth subs help alot with rattles and flex.

    I hate the sliding sunroofs that slide OVER the roof. I like the ones that tuck under the roof and on top of the headliner. It's a much cleaner look, but you lose a little headroom for that.

    How much would that mod be?
    With power.
    I've only seen a few that way. And I like the look of it.
    I wonder if anyone has a targa top.

    although they can look nice, putting a sunroof in our cars is a bad idea. it destroys any structural integrity the car had.

    I doubt there is any serious framing in the center of the roof. There is, however, added weight at the highest point on the car with this mod.

    Definatly not factory. When I was searching for a mustang the colors I wanted were sonic blue, competition orange or mineral gray or dark shadow gray. After almost a year I happened to stumble upon my car when I was driving a friend home. I immediatly pulled over and was excited that it was mineral gray and not a convertible! Then I saw the sunroof...:nonono: I ALMOST didn't buy it because of that. But I did and I actually really like it now. I never have it all the way open though lol. Mine is powered too and was installed really well. It NEVER leaks.

    This is the only picture I have of it because the car is in storage but you can kinda see it. Im not really worried about structural integrity. I don't think I would really have to worry about body twisting from torque unless I was pushing like 800+ hp haha.
