Sunroof vs plug what's your opinion

My civic has an aftermarket tilt up sunroof and I am trying to decide if I should keep it or not.

I have every bit of confidence that I could make a fiberglass plug my self to plug the hole. From what I've read on other import forums this would reduce weight by about 30-50lbs, I could dynamat over it and insulate the full roof.

Or, should I keep it as a vent for the times when I have no choice but to park directly in the sun in the summertime?

It lifts up about 1.5-2 inches in the back, no slide feature. It has a very slight blue color to it and that black texture crap that makes it impossible to tint darker unless I sanded it all down.

I've thought about making a reflective cover that could attach to it and still allow it to tip open.

What are you're thoughts.
