I appreciate the input Dimman and Sklimo, if I end up doing it, this will be the first place I show it off haha

And Anthony has the right idea. Just because it's called a glass-roof, doesn't mean it has to be glass. I found this company and thought I'd won instantly, but when I called them they said they only deal with manufacturers.

They offer this explanation for how they do it.

I always thought the same thing, but I figured maybe its just coincidence that Anthony bought the same wheels as Tunuki.

No wonder it still looks look clean.

Have you seen Tunuki's new car?

As for the link, don't mind me, my mind's still stuck on the Veloster's cheap ass suspension. I spent a couple hours researching it the other day. I like the Veloster's body style, even though the aero is crap, but can't justify even looking at a car with that horrible of a stock suspension. Then they drop this. http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/20/2...turbo-la-2013/
Not only is it going to be cheaper but they actually bothered to tune the suspension.

If Hyundai took a bit of a risk, and focused on handling for the Veloster, it could almost have been a modern CRX. Too many compromises.

GenCoupe is another almost magnificent car but they focused on being too much to too many different potential buyers, and ended up being a so-so GT and a so-so sports car, instead of being a great sports car OR a great GT.

I hope they're learning, though.

And on the topic of the glass roof, do you guys think the moonroof similar to the Maxima could ever be done (not that it should)?
