Sunroof FTW/FTL?
I've always wanted a car with a sunroof. Even my old POS Accord had a sunroof. After seeing 350Ricky's Z with the sunroof, it got me curious again. I have 3 concerns:
1. Does it leak at all?
2. Where would you mount the control buttons (perhaps the unused button next to the VDC/TSC off button)? I really want a stealth and OEM like look instead of having an extra button with wire handing out on the dash.
3. Any reputable in the area that does that? Car Toyz 2 offers that service?
Ricky can you post some pictures of how it looks like from the interior? Anyone else who has the experience in the area please jump in and give me some inputs. I'm really thinking about this before spring hits.

If you ask anyone, aside from the companies attempting to sell them, you will found out that if they're not the factory units they are prone to leaking, operate poorly, etc. Not to mention that fact that with the curvature of the roof on a 350z it would throw off the body lines. The same problems will be had in the long run that are seen on the early Z's (240z, 260z, 280z) with the aftermarket sunroofs. They leak, rust around the roof, are hard to find parts for when things go wrong, etc.
So in short, don't do it. If you were looking for a lengthy response as to why, hopefully mine fit the bill.
