The factory offered them as an option a couple of years ago and I know there have been a few takers. The 2 roof panels are hinged centrally to aid access and can both can lift out from the central support and it then forms a T-bar arrangement. I’m sure the design allows for the removable panels to fit behind the seats.
Didnt spot this post....better late than never!
Yes factory option, More info on the black one here and the fitment of the roofs

No great update and no great pics.
But... I did take it out the garage for the 1st time this year so thought it worthy of a couple of photos, even if I only went to the supermarket.
Only thing I've changed is that I bought a pair of bluetooth ear defenders things with a mic boom that mean I can listen to streaming music without needing the volume so high that it's like being in a disco and can take phonecalls and almost hear whoever is on the other end over the straight through exhaust.

Having not driven it since March I'd forgotten how much attention the Ultima gets. 5 mins filling up at the petrol station followed by 15 mins chatting to random strangers just outside the forecourt. Same again popping into the supermarket. It was great to have a proper blast in it tho and I've probably used up the last of the petrol from 2018 that must have been in the tank. Happy days!!
Well, all good things come to an end.
Nearly 8 years of being an Ultima owner ended yesterday when the car went off with its new owner on a safe and uneventful 450 mile drive down south.
It has been a great experience. Ok, I could have driven it a bit more than I did but that's just life stuff getting in the way of car stuff and no reflection on the car.
I'm obviously biased, but I can't think of many other cars with the same road presence and wow factor for the money and that's before throwing the performance into the equation. Also, the Ultima community is a great bunch and you can bet that someone will have a solution to any issue or problem and the banter is almost worth buying the car for.
Highlights have been taking the car down to Stoneleigh kit car show in convoy with some other Scottish owners and meeting up with other owners from all over and admiring all the other cars. I've never had anything other than a positive reaction from other folk on the roads and don't remember ever stopping for fuel without chatting to someone about it, even if it was "how fast does it go, mister"
I think I said earlier in the thread that I'd spent hours reproducing my car on Forza so will still be able to have a bit of fun there.
A couple of my favorite photos from over the years.
