Chaps,
Tom (944Fripp on here) is a very clever chap and he has been looking into having a batch of Saratoga Sunroofs for 944's made. For those who don't know, the Saratoga Sunroof was an optional 944 extra, available from your friendly local Porsche dealer back in the 1980's and 1990's when you bought the car. I don't know how much they cost then but can only imagine that they were painfully expensive. Not many were made and hence they are rare things nowadays. They are a tinted glass sunroof panel that is a slot-in replacement for the existing plastic panel that almost all 944's have. Being glass, they allow much more light into the car. Being tinted, and made by Pilkington (who are very smart people), they won't make your car into a high-speed roasting oven when the sun shines (although if they were then an S2 roasting oven would be faster than a Turbo roasting oven.) If you want to know more then have a look at the Rennlist forum where they had something similar done a few years ago. Start at Page 52:

Pilkington Glass made the originals and they will be re-doing a short production run. Prices (inc. VAT, but excluding delivery of £25) are as follows;
1 off: £457.87
10+: £432.04
15+: £418.27
You will probably be allowed to collect for free from the Pilkington works where they are made, most likely to be Huddersfield.
I understand (but will double-check to confirm) that these are the design to fit the later 944's with electric sunrooves (not the earlier, manual-roof cars.) They will also fit 968's. They are being produced in a batch so the more people who are interested, the cheaper the price will be. If you are interested then please add your name to the list below. Putting your name down isn't an absolute commitment but I'd rather you only did so if you are genuinely keen to buy - i.e. don't put your name down if you are simply interested in hearing more, or may think about it in the future, or would like one but can't really afford it etc etc etc! If the order goes ahead then you will be asked to pay for your roof up-front and will be kept informed as the production happens. (This will be a strict rule; you will need to pay, in full , in advance, and there will be no refund if you change your mind.)
List of people interested is thus:
1. zcacogp (Oli).
2. 944Fripp (Tom).
3. ALZ 1933 (Alan).
4. 944Scott (Scott).
