i just came from the BMW world and there are some E9x carbon fiber panels that can be bolted into place of the sunroof.
They also fit(fit-ish that is) the E82.
Just wondering if anything like that is available for the 996.
There are and I will be working on something this spring, maybe not carbon but a complete new roof skin

How much work was it to fix sunroof panel and remove the motor gubbins? DIY-able?
Also, how much louder is the interior now? At low speeds and high speeds?

it is a lot of work. The interior is pretty loud but not too bad, my wife doesn’t mind it so that’s a good idea. I did a muffler delete and sport manifolds as well

lol sorry for the late reply! I actually removed all the guts and everything from the metal panel, then I held it in place with some voodoo and then I siliconed it in place from the inside of the car. Hold like a champ. Just temporary until I get around to having the skin replaced
