Sunroof installers in D.C. area?
Charles Packer
that installs sunroofs? I called the folks who did some good exhaust
work on my car, but they don't do it, and they referred me to a shop
that apparently doesn't exist any more.

LOL I certainly wouldn't want an exhaust shop hacking up the roof of my car.
That is very specialized work... Kinda like converting a hardtop to a
convertible or the like. Not many people will do it, and far fewer will be
able to do it right.

I haul out this classic whenever the topic of aftermarket sunroofs comes
up in the Mustang group. Enjoy! :)

You know, I think you may be missing the point that everyone who
vetoed this idea was trying to make. So let's draw an analogy:
Say you decided one day that it would be fun to go down to the local
Ford dealership and have the service manager kick you square in the
nuts. You've seen other Mustang owners get kicked in the nuts and
figure it must be a cool thing to have done, so you're pretty psyched
over the whole thing but you're not quite sure if it's better to have
the dealership do the job or if you should seek the services of a
"professional" nut-kicker.
So you hop onto the Internet and solicit the opinions of others,
asking where the best place would be to get your nuts kicked into your
spleen. Shaking with excitement, you click <SEND> and eagerly await
the inevitable flood of replies.
A few hours pass and you check for sage words of advice from complete
strangers. You sit anxiously perched on the edge of your seat,
wanting to be kicked in the nuts SO badly but definitely wanting to
have the job done right the first time.
Lo and behold, there are replies!!!
You read them and the smile starts to fade from your face. People are
actually suggesting that being kicked in the nuts has some serious
repercussions that you don't REALLY want to set yourself up for. It
hurts. It makes you walk funny... after you're finally able to walk,
that is. Your voice squeaks. Fellow Mustang owners who see that you
got kicked in the nuts cringe out of empathetic pain. They can't
believe that you fell for the same marketing gimmicks that other
foolish Mustang owners did.
Their cries resound across the Internet: DON'T DO IT, MAN!!!!
Why, those bastards! Don't they understand how badly you want to get
kicked in the nuts like the other cool Mustang owners did? Surely
they can't be right about the damages being kicked in the nuts causes!
Yes, that's it. They're all stupid, ignorant bastards who are just
jealous of your keen eye for things that are truly cool in life.
They'd probably get kicked in the nuts too if they could afford it.
Hah! You'll show them... you'll get it done and they will be left
with nothing but jealous longing!
Moral of the story? You can lead a horse to water but you can't keep
him from cutting a hole in his Mustang's roof and plunking in a
sunroof if he REALLY likes getting kicked in the nuts.
Have fun with your new sieve! Er, sunroof.

The shop that did my exhaust seemed to be an all-around car customizer
-- at least that's the impression I got from seeing the shining red
1950s Cadillac convertible just inside their immaculate premises. On
the other hand, their name, Ultimate Performance, does suggest that
they specialize in engine work.

Got an address? I sure would like to know where to get GOOD exhaust
work done in the DC area. Do they do mandrel bends? I've got a car
that might benefit from some better breathing, and it's not exactly
the kind of vehicle that I can get an off-the-shelf performance
exhaust for... (regular readers will no doubt know about which car I'm
referring)

I like that one.

ASC did a number of convertibles and unique Hollywood show cars. I recall
ASC being involved in many Toyota and Mitsubishi convertibles (the Paseo
and MR-2 Spyder, as well as 3000GT Spyder and Eclipse Spyder). I expect
they had a hand in many other convertibles as well.
However, I have no idea how qualified the "authorized" shops are. But you
will at least find a list of people willing to cut a hole in your roof.
