So, after smashing a barrier last night (damage is minimal) I'm once again considering just re-shelling my car. The most cost-effective route would be to use my shell that I already have, but it still has a sunroof hole, and I do not have the sunroof for it (I'm going to ask the PO if he still has it, though)
but worst case scenario, what are some low-buck (that still look decent) options to fill in the hole? I'm not really down for the whole "riveting a piece of sheet-metal over it and leaving it be" option that I've seen around Vegas quite a bit lol

i think the riveted aluminum would work. you could tie it in with the interior. riveted door panels or bomber style seats. would be uncomfortable for drifting though

all he did was strip the stock seats down to bare frame then riveted aluminum on top and beat up the paint

I think for temporary I'm going to do the sheetmetal thing, then get the roof swapped over later on.
