LOL I googled this and came up with a series of questions and answers on eBay between buyers and the seller. Hilarious:

Q: Do you have a holographic version so that if someone looks from a certain angle, the sunroof will look like it's open? Do you also have a sunroof visor that I can stick on to look like I have a real sunroof visor? Do you also sell controls that I can stick on the ceiling of the car so I can act like I have a sunroof controls? I'm curious, If I stick it on the hood of my car would this then be called sunhood? This is one of the best ideas I have ever heard of.
A: We are still working on having more products like this, at this moment we only have this self adhesive sunroof. You can put it in the hood if you want. Thank you

Q: my car does not have an anti lock braking system - i am interested in an abs light for my dash - i cannot afford nor am i interested in the actual braking benefits of an abs system - i am solely interested in tricking people into thinking my car is safer than it is. do you or are you looking into prototyping this product - it seems like its up your alley.
A: We are working on new ideas, thank you.

Q: What kind of tool would I use for cutting the whole? will it leak?
A: This sunroof is ornamental, itīs only a sticker with the shape of a sunroof that you put in your carīs roof and gives your car the look of a real sunroof, but you donīt make any holes to the car, and you canīt see through it. You donīt make any modifications to your car.

Q: Will I have to declare the addition of this modification to my insurance company and will it compromise the structural integrity of my car?
A: It doesnīt compromise the structural integrity of your car because itīs just a sticker with the shape of a sunroof that you put in your carīs roof.

Q: how much horsepower does this add?
A: The self adhesive sunroof doesnīt add any horsepower to the car.

See the rest here:

I've heard that it is made of a super splik material on top that allows the air to pass over it more quickly and it creates less drag than the painted metal surface does so it adds 2mph to your top end, that is until it blows off, then you lose the 2mph...

I really do not understand the concept of that product. I've never looked at a Civic or something with a sunroof and thought, "wow, that person shelled out big bucks for options." Reminds me of those plastic hub caps that are meant to look like chrome wheels.

Does it come in genuine factory colors? That would be a lot less flashy than the black glass look. Seriously, who thinks up this stuff? 987f

I'm tempted to get one just so I can see the "WTF?!?" expression on the face of other Porsche owners at a PCA DE.

I am bustin....Suneet are those real comments? I guess I should just click the link and read...but i had to quickly chime in....

So here is my best effort at earning my stupid sign:

Dear Ebayer,
Does your sunroof come with a warranty? If so, what parts of the cars interior are covered? The clutch? Tranny? Tire warranty?

I once heard this quote:

"Never underestimate the stupidity of the the American consumer."

It certainly applies here. And if you think about it, we are all sitting around laughing at the product, but if this guy even sells a dozen of them to idiots, he has made a profit. And I am all for profit.

So maybe we need to be the ones coming up with useless consumer consumables? We could easily fund our next mod....
