    great comments. Thanks for checkin' the myspace site. Was gonna use the mod on a new video for "Lyrical Engineer" and take it on the road with me to do speaking engagements and concerts at youth events to encourage kids to stay in school and at the same time pursue their dreams and goals. I haven't heard back from Foose yet, but still need to figure out the funds first anyways. Happy New Year guys and thanks for the comments.

    If I remember correctly, isn't a custom shop in that area is responsible for creating the VX02... started with an A? If that is what you are going for, maybe they are still in business?

    speed bumps...

    When I was looking into this a while back, I found these online... they are similar to the VX02's... they are called "speed bumps".

    Targa, VX02 Options for roof mods

    I had a Isuzu Amigo and found a split sunroof that I was able to shoehorn between the outer frame of the roof. It kept the integrity of the roof, but allowed me to have basically a glass top.-ie very little mods required.

    As for the VX and a similiar project:
    Anyone know of a company that makes very small (separate) sunroofs? ie. 12" x 12"? I'd like to put two in over each seat and have an instrument cluster running inbetween them.

    Not sure about "manufactured" separate sunroofs, but, is it possible to cut windshield glass to the proper size to use? (obviously not intended to use as a "movable" piece, only fixed). I just test drove (for fun) a Jeep Commander Limited (Hemi) with one main sunroof and two small "fixed" sunroofs... just thought it was cool as heck!

    I remember about 20 years ago, companies like JC Whitney and Pep Boys had symetrical mini sunroof options. But they only manually tilted up and didnt slide back. Not sure about simple removability either. (I know I saw a pair on a mid 80s Cavalier)

    They may still be around, but almost seems a waste of time
