I am seriously considering putting a sunroof in my 05 VZ Commodore Equipe..
Car colour is siver.. I really like how the car has a upmarket look to it and i reckon it would look tight. .. Am I NUTS.. what do you think? The wife thinks so. But with the right sort of one i really think it would look fantastic with the overall look of the car. Post your views letting me know your thoughts.:bang:

Yes you are nuts. No question about it. You don't need to put a sunroof in your car to prove it.

As for your car - if you like a sunburnt head - go for the sunroof. If you want to do it just because you want your car to look classy - forget it. No matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd!

From peoples experiences (that i have heard of) I would steer clear of aftermarket sunroofs. Factory ones are usually the only way to go reliability wise. Just remember you are going to cut a hole in your roof and once the warranty/guarantee for the work has run out any leaks are your problem......

Go for It

I had an electric sunroof in my previous car and it was the best luxury accessory I have ever used.

With extremely variable weather in Melbourne the roof enabled me to get the best of the warmer days in winter and the of the nights during summer.
I would never have it open fully while driving on a mid summer day.
On a hot day you crack it open while parked to keep down the heat inside the car.
I also have an Aunger rear louvre fitted to keep the car a bit cooler.

I did some research for my VZ Lumina (silver also) and when I can afford it I will go for a package offered by The Sunroof Centre <[email protected]> at about $2300 including dark tint for the windows for a full electric system.
They have a good range available for sedans and utes.

Well, thanks for your input fellas. I'm thinking of more of a tinted non- retractable one just for show. In other words i'd get it just for my satifaction to what i think would add to the overall look of the vehicle. :w00t:
