Oh man! I wish my local junkyard had an Si in stock - I would love to do the same to my project hatch. Keep those pictures coming. One more thing, in case you have not seen this article:
http://www.performanceforum.com/wesv...roof/roof.html

It shows the opposite - but still helpful!

Does your dx have factory provisions for the drain tubes?

so that's all it takes is to remove those screws and the roof is off?

I would imagine that it's spot welded all the way around.

yeah its a bunch of spot welds thats it. but once its all off there will be rust to attend to and holes to fill. after that everything has to be grinded down and fit into place. then welded back together. i SHOULD be finishing it today. ill let you all know how it goes!
