Carbon Fiber Sunroof Plug Kit for 88-91 CRX
Just wanted to let you guys know we have a new product for your car. This plug kit will shave about 35 lbs. The kit weighs 2 lbs. Here are a few pictures of one installed on a b16 turbo crx.
Before
Holes Drilled using lacating tool included in the kit
Brackets mounted, notice they don't go lower than the flange
Panel bolted to the car top with countersunk machine screws and tiny nylocks, these will come in black or silver
Drive rivet, no rivet gun required, just tap the back and attach the bracket to the car
Taped off and ready to seal the gap
Black silicon applied with finger and ice cube to smooth the silicon. Silicon will not stick to the silicon
Finished with smooth seal
The sunroof plug itself is a prepreg carbon, fabric/uni panel that is glossy on both the inside and outside and UV clear coated. It fits flush with the body line and when you install the headliner you don't even see the brackets. Install time is about 2 hours and it comes with all the instructions and a template for bracket mounting.
If you haven't taken your sunroof out you will be amazed at how heavy it is. Weight is bad but weight up high is very bad. This will improve the performance of your car. The only downside is you can't open your sunroof unless you un-install.

Am I seeing correctly that there are screws on the topside?
What's to stop someone from taking a screwdriver and helping themselves to a nice wide entrance into the car?

Yeah, looks like the top is screwed on.
I think it would be easier to slimjim the door or bust a window then unscrew 20 screws holding the sunroof cover panel on though. :dunno:

The entire kit is $341. Those are 20 very small, countersunk machine screws that stay flush with the roof. We have them in black non so you don't see them.
