I like the roof and do use it. There is a cover that rolls out electrically to keep sun off during the day. They are very nice when the sun is not directly overhead. That said, it I were looking for a way to reduce cost, this would be the second option to go. First would be rambar, then roof, then beadlocks, CF... so on. Last option to go would be the upgraded sound. It's really good for a factory system and gets enjoyed every drive.
