    anyone on here installed a sunroof on a GTP that didnt come with one when ya bought it? been toying with this idea for a few months and wondering if anyone did a custom job and installed one.

    I have seen one, They chopped the top from a GP with a sun roof at the roof rails and at the top of the pillers then welded and painted it.

    I disprove of peoples actions, and want to mega man punch them in the testicals.

    so they cut out the entire roof and used a roof from another GTP and welded and did all the body work to make it look right.

    i assumed it would be simpler to just find a GP with a sunroof remove it measure the specs and cut accordingly. then install.

    ANd as a matter of fact I am getting ready to cut one out of an 05. They are the same in both 97-03 ans 04+ at least the couple I have remove and worked on from 97, 00 and 05. If anyone is needing one with all the controls and headliner if needed.
    Lambokit to be built!!!!!

    theres places that will install aftermarket sunroofs (such as in cars that didnt have one from the factory/made without one) its actually a pretty common thing to do
    SMGPFC # 008 -White 1995 Grand Prix SE: tinted tails, Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers with resonating tips. much more to come eventually
