I need some help guys, I want to permanately delete the HEAVY sunroof from my daily driven 92 SI hatch. I know alot of you race EG's, so I would like some suggestions and also see what some of you guys have done to plug up the hole that is left in the roof when the sunroof is removed. Pics of some clean fabbed panels or kits that you can buy would be very helpful. Permanant and leak free would be preffered because my car is a daily driven street class car. It will see the rain and also sees snow during the winter. Thanks in advance.

 

i've never done it but i think the easiest way would be get a roof cut from one at a junk yard that way you have the same countours and curve and just cut the section out to fit and tack weld it slowly into place grind bondo paint.

 

get some lexan and weather stripping make brackets and that will do it

 

I belive that lighter faster offers a kit for the SI. You might want to check out their site at http://www.lighterfaster.com

Where did you get yours from. Do you have any pics of it installed? I'd like to see how beautiful it is.

 

Did you have to have yours custom made?

My DX civic had an aftermarket sunroof when i got it. I wanted to get rid of it because it was leaking water. I had to send Adam a custom template so he would cut me a perfect fit. I'm sure if you're taking out your stock sunroof he has ones that are pre-made. Just call him up!

 

how a body shop weld the hole!

 

Not a civic, but the integra lighterfaster.com carbon plug kit.

No problem.
I'd like to see some more pictures of your car if that's ok with you (I'm debating on painting my coupe silver).

You can see some more pics of my car here: http://www.etdracing.com Just go to team ETD at the top of the page and click on Mike Hackett's 1992 Civic Si. These pics are 2 years old now and they show my old setup but, there are some good shots of the car at the track and how the paint job looks. The color is Dodge Viper silver code: VA9 if you're interested. Thanks guys, Mike.

Looks good to me from the pic. I am probably going to order one of these kits. I have a few Q's before I place my order though, I'll call them up soon.

made mine from mr-10 lexan for about 50 bux with everything brackets rivets and silicone then got wrapped with perferated vinyl

 

heres mine i made from lexan, trust me when i say that the sunroof is freakin heavy, pound for pound, i dont know of anything that heavy that you can remove from your car





i just painted it black from the inside

 

Those are some pretty good looking sunroof plugs guys. How are those in wet weather (rain & snow)? Are they on your daily driven cars? I need 100% weatherproof setup, I don't want any water coming in on my head LOL. The price tag on the Lighter faster carbon kit is a little over $300 shipped. It does look like a really well thought out kit though and good quality. That would be opening my wallet pretty wide. Does anyone else have any alternatives? Are there any fiberglass kits that might be a little less expensive.

 

Adam made me a fiberglass sunroof plugin. Ask him bout that ****....

 

My bud made this from aluminum sheet and lexan. Its not leak free but put some weather stripping and bet you can do it.

 

they look good

 

supported by 2 sprite cans
is the rear end really that light w the solid axle setup?

 

where can you purchase lexan from?

 

i had a lightfaster kit in my teg and it never leaked,and we get lots of snow here.

Good to hear. We get quite a bit of snow here as well and i don't want anything leaky. Those are some really well done sunroof plugs. Looks like alot of thought and time were put into them. Thanks for the interior shot as well, this is helping me get the idea of what these should look like. Let me see some more...
