    Has anyone added a sunroof to their car that did not come with one?

    So my E30 did not come with a sunroof from the factory, and after 6 months of owning it I realize that now I wish it had a sunroof.

    Has anyone added a sunroof befor. I see that they have kits on ebay that are full glass sunroofs. Or I could do one like a Subaru STI that is just like a small hatch that flips open, It would be alot easier.

    What do you guys suggest I do.

      I could try to find a car that came with one, but swapping all of my parts and finding another car with a perfect body would be difficult.

      How hard would it be to add a factory sunroof.

        Trade with someone that has a car with sunroof, but want one w/o.
        Try that, before hacking up yours.

          I could add this one and have a glass sunroof.
          $100 and alot less work then trading cars and swaping parts.

                      Its rare not to have one. I would never put a cheap little sunroof on a fine car. It will look...cheap.

                          if you have a car with a perfect body and no sunroof keep it that way. or add a 100 dollar piece of shit sunroof and devalue your car. i would never ever buy a car with an aftermarket sunroof
                          non sunroof cars are lighter and that added weight up that high makes a difference. it not a big deal if you just cruise around in your car however. lots of people seek out a non sunroof car. i too like a sunroof but i wouldnt want one on a track car
