New Idea...Whatcha think?

Ive been thinkin of new ideas for my car and i thought of somehow making my whole roof like a mirror. I know i cant use glass cuz i would probally die if i got in an accident but i was wonderin if you guys had any ideas that can help me out to make this work. Like if you know any alternate materials or any places i could go to see if i could get this done. Tell me what you guys think.

No, hes not talking about a moonroof. Hes talking like a MIRROR so he can look @ the cieling and see everything. You could probably go to Home Depot and ask them for a certain material to adhese to the cieling.

Here is what I would do.....use plexi-glass.....using heat you can contour plexi-glass kind of good then put mirror tint on the plexi-glass.

How about putting mirrors on the floor so you can see what color they are wearing (catch my drift?). [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I think there is a new Porsche model coming out with a totally clear roof. (not a convertable). I'm sure you could get some ideas from that.

They have had the Targa out for a while. I don't think they had it the past couple of years though.
