    not really, if that was the case the glass would be breaking from the stress in sunroofs all the time. They have additional bracing for the sunroof plus he added bracing AND welded it all together...he basically created an exoskeleton just as strong as the unibody itself and I seriously doubt it will ever warp or paint crack.

    you are right. the pic of the two bars runnin across isnt what it actually looks like now. it has two other bars runnin the other way too. they are also welded together to create minimal flex. i know the risk I was takin so i made sure nothin would ruin all my hard work.

    now tell me about this blown TT your username implies. I've seen it once before with a volvo engine...the one they put in the modified opel manta.

    cut top off looks like decent work though, only reason someone mentioned seeing the outline of the new piece is like he said paint covers bondo and metal differently
