IDEA: (from my previous project car that i never went through with)

1) Remove Sunroof
2) Purchase Rally Roof Air Intake (looks cool? DEFINITELY unique.)
3) Delete AC

Find someone who knows a good metal working shop ( local body shop should work closely with them) and have them weld in a patch panel and crossbrace.

I would suggest to you that you try and source an aluminum roof panel off of a wrecked evo or something along those lines... You do have a roll cage but when you remove the sunroof you will lose some body rigidity and it could be deemed unsafe during tech inspection if it isn't properly covered....
Not unless you get it painted. Stealth FTW

Heres mine and here is what I have found.

The skin from the MR is about $750-800, seibon I believe makes a carbon skin for around $900-100(not exactly sure what retail is though) and you should be able to get a decent body shop to cover it, finish it and paint it for around $600-900. Another idea I had is to look into a roof from a standard lancer, as I believe it should be the same.
