difference between street and track roof:

two molds per unit - inner and outer + trim for windows

rear and side windows - glass or Lexan? custom shape, straps required if Lexan, gotta form any curves.

weather-stripping - front, side, hatch.

hardware - front latch, side spinlocks, rear trunk latch.

headliner?

electrical - third brake light (otherwise not legal)? rear defrost?

willing to give-up your trunk and access to oil/coolant? if so then ok, otherwise two more molds and additional hardware for some sort of rear hatch.

google boxt cars - they tried it. of course zeintop (now back as z-art and can be found on facebook). and there's a few others out there that ripped molds from used zeintops and are selling such thinks. also dmoris are doing something similar.

it's expensive, highly custom and a small market. also they are heavy up high and squeak like a bastard without a full cage.
