Default Skinned CRX Sunroof?

Does anyone know how or if it can be done (Fiberglass Skin Existing Sunroof with cracks)?
Can locate a fiberglass replacement anywhere. I want to keep the functionality of Sunroof, so a "Plug" isn't for me.

Thanks

There is a carbon fiber piece that replaces the metal piece that rots out and allows it to function. I'd search it down on HT.

I know rite, and to make more headroom, give a cleaner look outside.
I never open the thing. too fancy for me
Took a look at it today, since the non sunroof models don't have the rear washer and people have plugged theirs no problem, I might just remove all the motors n such, then just weld a piece on and sand it really nicely then fab up a headliner

Hello. Ended up getting the VisionMotorWorks CF roof. Fitment was fine, Although I had to use the existing Gasket from old Sunroof (Honda told me they were Discontinued). Oh well, I siliconed the crap out of it. Only problem is it sits a little high in the front. Not completely flush. I tried to locate the places inside to shim, but no luck. Anyone have a picture of the location where to shim?

Thnx

i originally bought my SI as a daily driver... i loved the sunroof.

now that im going to be tracking it, i dont need the luxury/weight. id rather keep the same car and transform it rather than sell it to some idiot kid and start over with some rust bucket. i know the history of my car. which means, i know its not a hack job.
