[QUOTE="mike_b_svt, post: 10777399, member: 4601"] If you wish to maintain ANY collectability of your car, then DO NOT put a hole in the roof. IMO, a true collector is going to be looking for originality as part of "condition" of the car. Yes, a roof can be repaired just like everything else, but it adds to the cost of restoration and may reduce the price a collector is willing to pay, or even reduce the number of potential buyers. Personally, I've looked at a few Teal sunroof cars and will only consider one with a [U]factory[/U] sunroof. As it is, most folks have modded the he11 out of their engines / exhaust / whatever, which rules out alot of cars for me. Now, on the flip side; it is YOUR car. If you want a sunroof, start chopping! ...on the other hand, why not just buy a 5L convertible if you want air? I had a sunroof in mine, and to tell the truth the only time I closed the sunroof was when I parked it for the night. Rain or shine, I had it open. The only time water would get in it is if it was parked and the wind drove the rain in from behind. I think that happened twice in 9 years :-) [/QUOTE]
