Check out my old roof:





Pretty ugly, right? Yea, it was a temporary solution. That was with 1/2 container of bondo just to fill in the cracks.

I decided to redo it this past weekend. After countless hours of hack *** custom bondo work:
















So now my car has that old black roof nsx look.

This job used 5 containers of bondo, 2 tubes of glaze puddy, 1 spraycan of primer, 2 spraycans of gloss black paint, and the 1 big piece of sheet metal from the previous job. I still need to buy a can of clearcoat tomorrow. Total Cost: Aprox $90

Questions and comments welcome.

 

final outcome

 

Bondo =
S minus sunroof? Shoulda just bought a base

 

day shots

 

I don't get what people are thinking when they paint their own cars at home ...

mind boggling

 

should have just welded it shut... all that bondo probly weighs more then the old moonroof and motor

 

The base and sh models both have a sunroof.

I'll get some dayshots tomorrow.

Bondo is very light...

I'm not really worried about the quality of the rattlecan paintjob. This isn't a show car or a permanent paint solution.

 

why did you do that? what happend to your roof?

 

Weight reduction. I sold it.

 

"dude, you just fucked up your prelude"

 

oh geez .........

 

 

should've put a carbonfiber or fiberglass piece in place of it. but its your car.....

 

Not only is it a weight reduction, but also a weight transfer. Maybe he's more hardcore than you show auto-X pretend to be racers.

 

CF plugs aren't allowed in SCCA ITS, or else I'd be all for it.

 

plz some one read his sig.. FUTURE H2 / ITS Racer...... rules include no sunroof or plugs..

 

NASA H2 allows them, but I want to do both NASA and SCCA.

 

god, you should've gotten it professionally plugged. that **** was ugly as hell and it's shabby now.

 

haha whatever i dont know the rules, i just pretend i do.................

 

What dont you guys understand? He's making his car a track car not a show car. The cars purpose is to be tracked and raced not for looks and luxury. Im sure his hobby is tracking his car.

Function over fasion.
Performance over luxury
Go over show


It doesnt look too bad. Lets see pics of the whole car.

 

I wonder if it will crack due to car flex.

 

give it a while it won't be nothing nice.
