The sideskirts are Stillen....The headliner was done in a darker color and the Visors and overhead lamp assembly was left in the lighter color to match the theme on the 2 tone seats. You can have your headliner done in any color you want, the sunroof screen will be a lighter gray and I don't think you can change that.

$940 sounds high to me but I guess it depends on the area you are in, Richie's does them for $699. It only took 3 hours to install.

Hope this helped you.

Yes I am sponsored and got mine for free, but he is charging the other Z owners $699. As far as the sunroof screen, the sunroof comes as a kit with the shade already installed, I guess you could somehow remove the screen and see if the shop could re-do in different color, I really don't know the answer. Ok, just called Richie's about the sunroof shade cover, he said that they only come in the Charcoal Gray and he does not believe it would be an easy task to change it out.

I hope this helps you.

That is the same wing, and that is a good price on it. BTW, the wing I have is made of a blown resin, it is extremely light in weight.

Thanks for adding link to this....

I saw a webasto sunroof on a Lemans Z in houston when I met another Z owner. Nice guy.

The sunroof is pretty nice and looks like it fits the car like oem basically.

I'm a sunroof lover and had sunroofs on all my cars (Civic Ex, VW GTI) now I want one for my Z =(

Are those the Stillen ver 2 side skirts? I really like them but have had concerns with them being overlays rather then replacements. Was that a concern for you or is it not even noticeable? Thanks!

Your car looks great BTW!

same here, this is my first car without a sunroof, now this thread has me wanting one :/ I don't want to spend 1k though 700 sounds doable

Anyone know any installers in the state of Delaware?

I was just looking at webasto's web site, what exact model and size sunroof did you get?

Guessing its a Hollandia 300, but not sure on the size

I am || that close to buying the sportcoupe wing. Ever since I saw one on a Z at Zdayz, I have been looking at all the pics.

Some questions: You say that all you had to do was drill a couple of extra holes. Why? I was thinking of using 3M tape, which leads me to my next question. Does the wing sit flat on the hatchback, or does the shop have to do some molding or sanding?

I found an ebay store that sells this wing prepainted for a total of $147 and $27 for shipping. Even if the paint is off, that is still better than the hopupracing price which is not prepainted. I was planning on taking it to a shop anyway for the install and paint matching.

Thanks in advance for your answers! I really dig your car! That is hot!

Yes, it is the Hollandia 300, it is actually designed for the Hyundai Tiburon but works perfectly on the Z.

The wing fits flush on the front side (closest to the back window), as far as the back side it has about a 1/4 inch gap but nobody ever notices except for yourself, most people think it came factory on the car.

I have had no problrms with the sunroof at all. I do not drive the car that much, in fact it only has 19,000 miles so I guess I can say it has been fine so far.
