Here they are, sorry its night. But it came out great!!!

I just dunno how I feel about the deflector, so I took pix with it installed and removed. PLEASE tell me what you think!!!

And had I waited just 6 days I would have had the EXACT G8 I wanted with the ultra sweet 19s. I am "almost" sick about it. Stealer is considering a swap. We will see.

Which one, with deflector or without? May be hard to see.

With because it really doesn't make too much of a styling difference.

So you got yours without the sunroof and added it? Why not get the factory sunroof? Just wondering as I got one of the 888's without a sunroof and wouldn't mind one

I have seen some big/tacky looking deflectors but this one doesn't look too bad. Its really just a personal preference.

Personally I would go without because I have seen old cars take their deflectors off after 150k+ miles and it looks like crap under there....

G8#278,
I got it without because the dealer said he couldn't guarantee anything. So what I saw is what I could get. I wanted a Sunroof and 19s. Now they have a car with 19s there, but still no sunroof. Trust me I wold have gotten the option had it been available. I just found out this car existed only a few weeks ago so I bought as soon as I could.

I can't decide either. Either way, congrats!

Typical dealer BS. Customers have to wake up and investigate everything before walking through the door. Impetuous buying plays right into their hands. We have the tools to know what the dealer has coming - or who has what we want. Sure hope in your rush to purchase you got the sunroof thrown in for free and did not pay a dime over msrp. :stickpoke:

Okay, off-rant. Install looks good except for some headliner wrinkling I hope is just a reflection. Leave off the windscreen and it will look more stock from the outside - rarely do I see a deflector added to a factory roof on a domestic brand.

I agree with Chief. Pretty good installation but I would travel without the deflector.

Thanks for the opinions. Deflector is gone and I love it!!

I paid $895 for the roof, no wrinkles. Sure it would have been nice to negotiate, but the dealer didn't care if I bought the car or not as:

1. there were plenty of people admiring it
2. it was mentioned several places in threads here that none of the 888's had sunroofs anyway (typical of the internet)

I will drive it for 3-4 years then get something else. So far I am absolutely enjoying the car.

Looks good! :thumbsup:

Without was the right decision. IMHO

I agree! Looks good!!

I agree, without it was the right decision!

what do aftermarket installs typically cost? a local dealer wants $1100.

What I like about this is that you got to keep the sunglasses holder. I'd still prefer to get the sun roof from the factory, though. Cutting open the roof on a brand new car just sounds like a bad idea. Yours looks good, though.

This one cost $950.00. On the test drive I asked the salesman about ordering one with w/sunroof and he said why wait, lets go over here and have them do it. So on the test drive we rolled up and the old dude said he would do it to the dealer for $950, and they didn't mark it up.

Had one put in my wifes Mustang yesterday (but it was a "spoiler" model since Mustangs have no room to hold a slide in sunroof) for $800.00. Sun roof has been open everyday since I started this thread. Totally worth while.

Looks great! Definitely without the deflector though.

How much head room did you lose?

No deflector

How much head room did you lose?

*IF* I lost any, I cannot tell where. I am sure I did, but even at 6' tall I can't tell.

Looks good, no deflector I say. How does this compare in size to the factory one?

I dunno how big the factory is. Never seen one.

no deflector.
White looks really good too.

I've got a Webasto sunroof in my (Holden) Astra, love it.

Which Webasto model did you do with? There 6 models in the 700 series.

Thanks

Without measuring, I don't think it is possible to tell.

Just says Webasto Hollandia 700 in the book.
It is glass, flips or slides to a programmable position, and auto closes when the ignition is switched off.
