Sun Roof
 
My wife really wants a sunroof. Has anyone seen/got pics of a BRZ with a sunroof?

With the roof shaped the way it is, I don't think you could get a sunroof installed. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

The only structural beam in the roof runs longitudinally in the middle of the roof. The rest of the roof is super flimsy aluminum and styrofoam... And it's all curved as already stated.

So no. Maybe wait for the convertible version?

I see that now...makes sense. Thanks. Wait a minute...T-top!

Yeah a T-Top might actually work. There ARE complete carbon fiber roof skins available now , you might be able to hack one up and add the structure to support a t-top with like Lexan panels.

Impossible unless they completely redesign the roof structure, which will never happen. The engineers aren't going to put an extra 35lbs on the top of the car after they spent all that time trying to lower the center of gravity as much as possible. Tell your wife to stick her head out the window and stare at the sun.

a sunroof defeats the entire purpose of the car. buy a scion tc.
