How is it attached? I hope they did not drill into the roof. Does not look like you can open the sunroof fully either.

not real sure how it is attatched. from the looks of it, i think it may only be only there by adhesive i really hope it wasnt drilled into the roof. i will find out this week when i go to the body shop and talk to the guys about it. hopefully it's just adhesive.

i can open the sunroof but it does hit the scoop so i can't fully open the roof which is quite annoying but hopefully soon it will all be a thing of the past.

once i remove it i may do a 2-tone paint job with it. black coming from the middle of the front bumper up the hood over the roof to the trunk and the rest of the car red, i will find out all the details of it this tuesday.

i had tossed around the idea of doing a cf hood and trunk and doing a cf overlay on the roof for a different 2-tone look but i'm not a big fan of cf. i did buy new fender vents at one point and once i got them realized i bought cf ones, so i ordered new black ones and am stuck with the cf vents still in the box in the trunk.

yeah the autobahn cf fender vents...why uh-oh? cause the way they have to be installed? yea they dont just pop in like the stock ones do and they dont get installed like the ones from fenderstrakes.com with the double sided tape. you have to get through the wheel well, install the grills into them tape and zip tie them into place, more of a headache then anything. but i do have them and will post them for sale in the forum.
