Nice! So if you were to add the cost of paint and labor for painting the roof, that could be another $2500 (?) alone, or more) if you weren't painting the rest of the car, totaling $6500-$7500? So how much more or less than the $2000 I spent for the non-sunroof piece, plus the labor and paint to install and paint, maybe it's not that much more or if so maybe another $1-2k? I don't know because of all the other parts I'm having them prep and paint. Also I don't know if anyone else could do a complete gutter unfold and reinstall of a roof like they did, but I know they've already done it a few times, so that made the decision easier. Here's some of the Getty parts that they were working on and getting ready for primer before cutting off the roof. Fiberglass pieces that I thought looked pretty good as is, but Alex in this picture, pointed out all kinds of flaws in the finish, however minor, in the pieces and wouldn't let it out of his shop without reworking them. Nothing wrong with the fit though, those were spot on. I guess 'race ready parts' are beginning to end up as 'show car' pieces!
