Default cost

parts are gonna be cheap around $500. labor forget it...just cutting roof off and welding couple of bars took 2 people all day. cos u gotta scrape all the anti-rust crap under the car and cut some area of the steel bar to fit under there. cutting above the windshield was a challange. cos it is not a straight line. u gotta curve it parallel to the windshield line. 4 corner of the roof was very thick so that only handsaw would go throught. top of the roof was not hard, we just used a power saw. removing headline takes only 10 min. i had people on the opposite direction making U-turn to catch me and asked where i was getting it done. it is defenitely a great mod to do it if u have the ***** to put a hacksaw onto a +30K dollar car.
this my 12th straight day at work and i'm exhausted. i ll shoot some video and put it on youtube tomorrow. next 4 day things shoud be done. hopefully.
peace!!!
