        a friend of mine had it done to his 98 EX accord(didn't have the sunroof option). anyways, i believe he paid about $800 but it was powered, and it also included fabrication of the headliner.

            not sure why this post is in the technical section, but in any event:

            old thread about installing a sunroof in a sunroofless car here

            and the thread before that one here


            absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

              NOOOO, don't even fuck with it dude. If you want a sunroof, buy an EX. Aftermarket sunroofs leak like a bitch, trust me they all suck.

                -All EX's come standard with sunroof.
                Also, i called a shop around here they told they can put a motorized
                OEM sunroof on my LX for only $600. But if i bring the glass, sunroof
                motor and, wire harness from a EX, they can do it for $400.

                  thats a good price, but with all the parts basically to do it dont you just need to cut and support after that. 400 for that. i guess if you arent down to tackle it yourself....i saw a 90 and a 91 sunroof on ebay lately both were like supre low prices and didnt have anyh bids on them. might be a place to start if youve tapped out your local junk yard.

                    This is not a DIY type deal. If you have to ask how hard it would be, you can't do it. Very tricky to do right. Leaks, rattles, and headliner issues may be in store if it isn't a perfect install.

                      thats how much it is around here as well.

                      plus get it done by a shop its warrentied.

                      doing it yourself, better hope you got it centerd correctly lol!!
                      What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

                      You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
