Retrofit Sunroof

Is it possible to retrofit a sunroof on a beast?

I'm aware that would require cutting a large hole in it, but i really want one. Has anybody done it? Does anyone know a company that can do it? (UK preferably)

Re: Retrofit Sunroof

i'm sure an aftermarket sunroof could be installed.

Funny though, i was thinking it'd be cool not to have a sunroof, no choice here in the US. Getting rid of that weight up there would help with CG...
