Hey all, I just got a new sunroof put in in Hungtington Beach. I thought some might be interested. I know a new sunroof isn't the first mod most of you would do. But I gots to have my sun! Really brightens up the inside.
I'm pretty happy with it, and the company. I wish it were a little bigger. But you can't have everything.

Whooppee!
Thanks for the info and referral, Matt. Got my sunroof and maplight installed at Airstream today and it really transforms the FJ. So, much sun streamed that I had to close the sunroof in order to cut the light.
I won't bother posting any pics. Looks exactly the same as Matt's photos -- we both have Titanium Metallic FJ's -- except that my maplight is properly centered.
That said, SoCalOcFj, I have to note that Robert at Airstream balked on the 10% discount -- said it was only available for a "panaoramic" sunroof which costs about $1300. Got the Hollandia 790 and a maplight for $1049, plus tax, which was still ok w/me.
The sunroof is huge and fills the entire area between the front mounts of the sunroof. Don't know how you'd get anything bigger, unless you remove the roof rack and install a panaoramic sunroof instead, which costs almost twice as much. The controls are easy to operate and I love the auto-close feature.
Long story short, the interior of the FJ no longer feels like a cave and I can even check for ceiling clearance in garages w/o getting out of the car. Well worth the price.
Now, I just need to get back home so that I can get my JBA Headers & Cat-back Exhaust installed ... and then, I'm done. No more mods planned after that. To see what I've done so far, you can check up my personal build notes here:
My First Mods.
Update on maplight: If you're going to get the sunroof, get the maplight too. It really lights up the front passenger area of the FJ and is wired to turn on and off in unison w/the OEM interior light.
