Right there with you brother.-----Bill

Good point - Now that I think about it, nearly every passenger in my car is completely surprised when I open the shade. And, although I've received some great compliments about the outside of the vehicle, most fall in love with that roof the moment they see it.

Ditto.

My wife was pissed that I did not go for this option. She's a convertible or sunroof fan; I could live without the sunroof. Convertable? On some cars, but I agree with those that say the Mustang looks good with the coupe roof.

Sun roofs raise the temps inside a car which is what I don't like. Since I live in the "Africa hot" temps of Central Florida, I like to try and keep the inside as cool as possible. Even when the glass roofs are tinted, they still allow heat through.

Maybe the north is better for these.

Not only is the glass tinted (>90% UV blockage), there's a shade that easily covers it to give the inside the look of the coupe and completely block out the heat. Best of both worlds.
