Default Carbon Fiber sunroof plug?

Well, ive been searching for the past couple weeks, and all i can come up with is the one plug that has the screws visible through the top. That ones for sale on a couple websites, but i remember a while back that someone had made one that didnt require screwing into from the top, it just riveted into the sides, it looked alot cleaner, but now i cant find that post. He had them for sale, and now i want one, and one have any idea what happened to that post? THanx.

that ones nice, but i though someone did a cf one just like that, he was gonna make a plug, and oen that was still functional. I want one so bad, i think the carbon fiber would add a nice touch.

Yeah, but he was saying he needed at least 3 people to make them for, and he's damn pricey. I might just ahve to go with the fiberglass one.

dont use the screws that come in the kit... just use stainless steel pop rivets!

or get this bling bling expensive kit:

oh, thats the one im trying to avoid, it uses screwes to hold down the panal onto teh brackets which are rivited in place. I just dont want the screws to be seen, but the painting them idea is good. this guy came on here and posted his cf panel, it fits nicely, and would rivit into the sides, it wasnt just a flat panel, it had sides that went down into the roof. He posted his price would be 250 per plug. I wish i would have gotten one then, cause now i cant find them.

We use aluminum drive rivets to bolt the custom brackets underneath the panel. They are not visible after install. The good part is you don't need a rivet gun, just pund the back with a hammer. The brackets are all pre-punched. As far as the screws being visible on top, they are all coated black stainless steel now and they are countersunk anyway so you can barely see them. They are flush with the panel. See this prelude model:



Underside


Oh yes and ours is glossy underneath and clear coated on the top side for UV protection and its now $350 shipped. None of the others come clear coated. See our new website below.
