Default Carbon fiber sunroof for 92 civic?

Does anyone make one? Would it be hard to make? More of a bling item than for use but... I would think it would be lighter than the glass(92civic si)

Anyone,
Steve

i do hope theyd make one you can actually use to replace just the glass and you can still use the sunroof. man that'd be pimp!

^but never still get the perfect OEM fit. i dont think they made a cf top for any model civic (yet?). but you can go custom which would cost a leg and an arm (to me).

if their is a such thing, someone post pics, i definately have to see this.

actually there was this sedan our mechanic was building, he replaced the gaping sunroof hole with thin plexiglass for the races.

IMO it looks good. :D but not that durable, only for race days. and the sedan was converted from showcar to race car.

Default useable...

It would be nice if it was actually operational...considering i live in fla and it gets hot down here it is nice to open the sunroof to just vent out some of the hot air.
the carbon vinyl has always been to fake and ugly to me...but anyway peace
