Do I need to have an engineer's inspection done on my '63 bug after I cut the roof to install a Golde sunroof? How would they know if I had done it? If it does need inspection, is that just done by a regular mechanic or someone more highly qualified?

And most importantly, how much would it cost?

Cheers!

yes how would they know unless it dont look stock

dont worry about the inspection as its only body work
