Just be completely different and install a metal sunroof that could be very cool.

If you graft a metal sunroof in, it will bring your car value down. If you graft a correct sliding ragtop in it will increase the value even though it is a graft. Oval ragtops are more valuable even grafted ones if the graft is done correct.

I wouldn't put a metal sunroof in an oval, just my opinion. ;)
It's your car though, build it for you :thumbs:

I totally agree. If you can't source a rag top don't do it Your oval worth it.
