Here are some shots of the Classic Design Concepts Glassback panoramic sunroof. It comes in a brushed stainless finish, but I had it painted.
The glass has a fuzzy and silverish look from the outside, but from the inside, it's nice and clear:
I'm going to have the headliner tidied up a bit and recovered in perforated suede.
In reading forum posts on the Glassback, the primary concern expressed was whether the sun would heat up the interior. It doesn't. CDC uses a special glass that is supposed to block out 95% of the UVA and UVB. According to my unscientific analysis, it also blocks out about 95% of the radiant heat as well. The sun shining directly on you is barely perceptible.
It was $3,100 installed, plus the cost of painting. |
