i love my sunroof, but i don't entirely love the weight of the sunroof, so i'm working on a removable sunroof plug, with a completely functional "dry" application, meaning i'm gonna use the stock drain pipes/hoses and implement some sort drainage system WITH this removable light-weight plug, if someone else already has something like this i'd buy it ina hearbeat, but back to the thread:

someone on ebay used to make a full CF plug with all the mounting hardware and everything it was an "easy install" as well but it was pretty expensive, just look around i'm sure you'll find it.
