Default Aftermarket sunroof installed!

I've been wanting a sunroof for quite some time, so thanks to this board, or more specifically, Fuji and WideBodyEK, I got over my anxieties about getting an aftermarket one put in.

It's a Webasto Stratos 300, and I think the shop did a great job!
Some pics, before and after....

Do I really want them to cut a hole? Oh well...

Yikes!

Notice how dirty my headliner has gotten over the years...

Aaaahhh..nice new headliner

Sliding sunshade...

That's better!

Clean, simple switch..I like it - nice sky up above too!

You can hardly tell from the side


What do you guys think?

Looks like a pretty good aftermarket. Better than the popup ones I've seen.:thumbup:

If by moonroof you mean the internal sliding type, it would have cost two hundred more, and besides, I think it looks more sporty, like on the 5th gens...

$699 plus tax from Airstream Sunroofs in Huntington Beach, CA. Awesome service, they took me to work, got it done in one day, and took me back (16 miles each way).

I totally recommend this shop. they're bigger than I thought, with 25+ employees. If you're in southern cali, check 'em out! Ask for Robert or Anthony.

man, is southern cali just more expensive for this kind of work or what? i got quotes ranging from $699-1200, for the exact same make and model sunroof. this placed checked out clean with the better business bureau though, so i went with them....i wish i had though of having them relocate the dome light to the front though...
