I think http://www.autoloc.com has some cool stuff. You could do power 
locks, windows, shaved handles, trunk pop, open/close sunroof, alarm on/off 
and auto start if you worked real hard!

About the windows... I'm almost sure you could make any car with 'smoking' 
windows to large 1-piece windows.  Ive done it several times on Bugs.  You 
would need to get an extra window channel for the surround, and you'd need 
to make a few cuts to some sheet metal under where the vent window sat...  
Your only other concern would be the door-check thingie. Chances are, if 
your window is in the 'down' position and you slammed the door, your glass 
would be shattered into 1 billion pieces. The solution? Again to the Beetle 
aftermarket! They have special door checks made out of urethane and cable so 
it wont smash your glass.

Now, finding someone to cut safety glass to fit would be difficult 
(impossible?)... The bug kits have some sort of plate glass, it sounds weird 
if you knock on it.  I know there are a few companies out there marketing 
tint that is damage proof. You can hit it with a hammer, and even though the 
window smashes, the little bits stay in one 'sheet'. That would get you some 
sort of protection from being stabbed with shards of glass if you got into a 
wreck.


As for colors on the roc?
I like a nice metalic-smoky grey.
How about that wild 'aluminum' paint on BMW's concept 3series? THAT'S cool!
