Not a fan....looks sloppy and then you just have a useless switch up on the headliner. Easier to reach? Dude the switch is not even an arms length away

actually the switch on the headliner has been removed and the hole filled , and i put it there because all the other glass controls are right there so why not have the sunroof there
so much for doing something different, its only cool if its a 5 speed swap or boosted or something like that, ugh

if you finished out the trim piece it wouldn't be bad but the way it is now looks bad with all the black around the piece...it just looks incomplete

then it could look better now...you did remove the labeling for the air vent close and open thing as well because that would also help it look cleaner

Nah....i'm just giving you my honest opinion. If you like it that's all that matters...i just like everything looking nice and smooth (like its supposed to be there). I also like the function of all my vents (granted that side vent doesn't do much).

my old alero didnt have a sunroof but instead it had a pocket for sunglasses or something where the sunroof slwitch is located. If u delete the switch is there enough "meat" to the headliner infront have the sunrood to install the cubby/pocket?

Cant say I like.. Looks more of a backyard mechanic job than something done properly... The original sunroof switch location was perfectly fine as is.
Its cool to want to do something different and custom, but when it's something thats well designed and placed properly like a sunroof switch, I cant say its necessary at also to "mod" it. With stuff like that, if it aint broke, then dont fix it.

If you wanted to mod it that's fine, but don't get upset by people's honest opinons and think they are "hatin" on you.
I personally wouldn't have posted a pic until the finished product was in and done.
