I'll take the hardware off my rusty metal roof and just make the perspex one to the exact same dimensions then. I've got a bandsaw for a straight cut.

Then thats the sam as plexiglass.I was thinking of making a center panel to put in the middle of my hood to show off the Carbed 13B.Not the turbo tho.That'll be kept a secret around here. :twisted:

Actually, I haven't played with perspex much, does anyone know if its easy to mould it? I mean, the sunroof has a bit of a curve in it, would a bit of heat mould a curve in the perspex? or is there another way?

funny you ask link they make it sound easy
