    One of my friends got the sunroof off an old truck at a wrecking yard, I cant seem to remember which kind of truck it was but I dont think it matters cause Im pretty sure its aftermarket. I wish I knew more about it!!!!

    Looks good! A little nerve racking when you first start cutting isn't it.

    It definitely was nerve racking because if anything goes wrong I would have been stuck with a giant hole lol.
