Noble Park, Custom Sunroofs @ Maidstone and Prestige Sunroofs @ Burwood seem to be the places to go, lol. Would they all be the same regarding quality?

i say this with some bias but i'd say custom are top of the tree, i used to work for a supplier to them all and they are a cut above, but all places will do a fine job, it's just that Peter from custom is a gun, you have never seen such a tidy workshop, and i have watched him install a roof into a previous car of mine and the care taken is 2nd to none, plus unlike prestige he does the work not 30 different monkeys..

i recently saw a G6ET custom sunroofs install, and if i cbf one day i'll be doing it too

in the G6E there is a difference between custom and prestige fittments, cant speak for the others but the roof lining is better and custom remove the sunglass holder as it looks shoddy as and very cramped with it still in place

Looks fantastic. Great job and adds coolto the car. I wonder how the installers cope with the much larger roof light like in my FG XR6T.
