I emailed CDC today and they replied that availablility was expected to be in the spring, and prices should be released after SEMA.

Its basically the same as the concept car... glass from windshield to back window, and side to side. A pic of it, as well as the company doing it is in the SEMA thread that Brad put up of all the SEMA stangs.

Porche and Mercedes offer packages like that so you might check.
One of my uncles has the panorama option on his 911. Pretty sweet. It has this feature where you can make it blackout so the sun isn't always shining in on you... then at the touch of a button it goes all clear.
I'm pretty sure the benz is the same way. I know it's offered on the new E models. Not cheap either B)
hopefully this stang version will be as top notch, but if it is then expect some high prices

I was at SEMA and counted about four cars with the CDC glass roof. It looks to be more than just the roof in the kit, It appears to include a one piece exterior trim piece for the A, B and C pillar. The piece I saw was painted the same color as the body, But upon close inspection you could make out faint interweaving lines under the paint, which leads me to believe these pieces were carbon fiber. It also had an LED strip along the top of the rear window that took the place of the third brake light. The fit and finish on most of the cars was excellent, however there was one car in a tire manufacturers booth where I noticed globs of silicone along the edges of the roof, and the rubber weatherstripping was not completely flush with the seams. So iguess the quality of the roof installation will depend on the installers ability or attention to detail. Also from the inside looking out, the kit looks factory installed.

There was a version of this done on 'Trucks!'...
Basically, you take out the headliner, use a template to cut out what you don't need (a huge piece of the roof) and put the new stuff in...
So, yeah, if you were to do it in the driveway= much skill+time

How much does having a vert add to the price of a stang? I love the idea of a glass rood just hate the idea of them chopping my stang up and what if it leaks down the road? I guess thats a good question for the maker. 
Definitely more unique having a glass roof. Would be awesome. I can't see it being that cheap though.
