Take it all out and welt in a pice of sheet metal. looks like ***, but works and saves weight. You could aslo, just get a DX roof and reweld that into place instaed of the Si one. If you really go out on a limb, you could find a glass top and weld that in.

well since i dont have a b16, i might as well just have shity **** all around .
glass tops are WAY To much, but damn that would be nice!!! i was thinking about getting the DX and welding it in. really want i want to do is make it carbon. and some how just make the back pop up. but i know if i did that and not ribbet it all down it will leek like a MO FO.
oh well. damn need some pictures. maybe i will just have to lexan it or something?

I think FAL, either already has a lexan filler piece. Or is in the process or making one. eMail them for more details.

the only thing i do not like about the lexan, is its clear and it shows to much. the hole from the inside say is a foot wide, and on top its like foot and a half and its looks kinda ulgy. so thats kinda why i dont want lexan, i guess i could paint the lexan so you can not see the ulgy part. but CF would be dope!!!

Didn't someone ask this just a while ago?

I told them, whoever it was...to check out http://www.mmracing.com for the body parts...they have a fiberglass filler piece for the sunroof on 88-91 CRX's. I've been thinking about getting this for a long time. You'd have to rivet into place, and could probably weatherproof it with some caulking-type sealant.
