Does anyone have any pictures of the JDM roof for the del sol. And mabey where I can find one to buy.


oh I am looking for some of the JDM sun visors for the DEL Sol

JDM roof is the same as the USDM roof. There is however a roof made by Ameripool that turns the targa into a sunroof. Read on http://www.automotivetech.org for "JDM" and the real JDM stuff.

Thanks I hope they have pictures I have only heard about them but not yet seen them

are you looking for pics of the automatic targa roof?

mongrill

I can't find what you were talking about????

pdiggitydogg

some jdm targa roofs are automatic
push a button, the trunk slides up, roof slides back, trunk goes down
google search and you will find it
very hard to find if not impossible

japspecjohn

i ve seen some jdm roofs that you pull a lever and they pop up a little to vent.

thats ******* dope - should be available here more people may have baught the sol - saves the hassle even though it is ez to manually do - but the people who drive on there own an wanted to have the top down no one available to help them

i heard from several people that the JDM automatic targa is impossible to simply buy and swap into a USDM sol or one that was never installed with it. putting it in would be more like a full rear-end conversion.

The del Sol roof only weights like 27 lbs lol. Why do you need 2 people to do it? I've taken it off at stoplights by myself before.

I just thought there was a lighter wieght roof for the del sol and I thought that one was the JDM. I have seen the automatic ones but I just thought there was a different ones

If I had a del Sol, I would fork out the money if I found one of those.

Carbon fiber ones are in or out of the making. http://www.automotivetech.org for more details

that's what you say now until you find out how much it really cost to get your hands on the transtop. trust me, i felt the same way!

Yeah. I think the figure I've seen tossed around is $3000 - without install. Definately not worthwhile, IMO.

Seems a bit high to me.

Last JDM sol at the shop sold complete for $3800 CDN

By complete I mean entire car with front end collision

TransTop was like a $3000 option for non-North American del Sols. Unfortunately, it adds a significant amount of weight, and I don't know if it is possible to retrofit to a USDM del Sol without doing a complete rear-end clip swap.

my buddy have this rear end sitting there.. are there anything needed in the compartment for wiring? I'm sure there're but not sure what is what... any one have this done before?

they should make a clear one or somethign else

As oposed to the tinting? I'd persoanlyl much rather have the tinting to block out the sun. Though clear would be nice with an insert in addition.

Nah, that'd be a bad idea.

I have never seen roof glass that wasn't tinted. All OEM Honda mooroof panels are tinted, and as far as I know, every other make tints their roof glass too.

This is done for a reason - to protect from the sun. In the case of the del Sol, if you wanted it "clear" you'd just take the roof off.
