Yea I probably would tint it and eventually get stripes. I have seen a few with stripes and it doesnt look too bad as long as its tinted.

Don't they add a lot of weight? I know I wouldn't do it because I don't really care about them, but I can see why some others do. Heat will also be a factor.

hope you have a nice alarm sensor... the roof would envite too many people to peer inside the car. BUT none the less I would do it in a heart beat as well !

If the car is a daily driver and sits out in the sun for long periods of time I would say no. If the car is garaged kept and driven ocasionally than its a nice feature.

I can get it now for $800 or less. I would probably install it myself. Would it hurt or improve the value of my car?

I think it would improve the value!!
Listen to Nike and JUST DO IT!!
When you get it, tint it, and you'll be good!! I sat in a mustang at the dealer that had it and it made the interior feel alot more roomy for some reason!! Maybe since more light was coming in!!

According to Mopar Muscle, the Glassback roof on the 300 (also made by CDC), is stronger than the factory sheetmetal on the roof.

I'd say go for it. If I could get it that cheap i'd jump on that deal. I'll have to save up to get mine done. I was quoted $3300 if I take it to CDC.

I can get it for $600. Any more opinions on it? Is it something I should get installed or tackle it on my own? Where would I get it installed if I did want someone else to do it?
