Default CRX Sunroof....out of Aluminum

Has anyone ever made a replacement sunroof for the CRX out of Aluminum??

Anyone ever thought of this before??

When I say sunroof, I mean an actual replacement skin. With that noone has to worry about rust ever and you can polish it or paint it to your liking.

If anyone have time and a welder that wants to do this let me know, I am interested in this.

why would you do that , you cant weld aluminum too steel , just make a steel plate and weld that one in , you could pop rivet the aluminum one and seel it with silcone on the inside

I am not asking to weld the sunroof shut. I was asking for an actual replacement skin.

I seen the CF ones already just would like to know if someone made an Aluminum one.

Please read before you post.

i made one for a guy back in 97 and i welded tabs to the inner then used allen head screws to mount it. i used foam seal tape on the inner edge to seal it! also it wasent a street car so it didnt have to be water proof.
