Of all the after market sunroofs I've seen... They all look GAY!!! Don't do it!! you will have TOOOOO many problems with it, like leaking for one!! just my 2. cents.


I use to have a White 99 GS Sport with a Star Stage II Ball Bearing T3/T4 turbo...it was fun untill....well those who remember me know emoji Oh Ya...this is what I have now... a 99' GSX...

When I initially bought my 98' Talon, they're weren't but a few left, and I had requested certain items...(stick, black, 16's...etc) I had also requested a moonroof, but there weren't any left amongst the other specs I had requested. So ,the dealership had a private business-only aftermarket accessory shop install my moonroof for me.

I can't tell you how pleased I am with it. I've never had a single roof leak, or any other like-related problem. (I do hear some windnoise over 110 MPH emoji ) Furthermore, and probably my favorite aspect, is that I had it put on a talon that didn't originally come with one. That means the interior roof came stock taller inside. With the stock moonroofs, you'll notice your head clearance of maybe 2 or so inches lower. This for me is wonderful as I'm 6'1" and I like to have a lot of headroom. It's a benefit I never knew I had until I rode in my buddy's factory-equppied moonroofed talon. I also get a lifetime warrantee on the roof.

But I would maintain the caveat that others here have expressed. Be wary of cheap aftermarket moonroofs. I've heard MANY a horror story as well. This is something you definitely want long warrantees for and lots of references.

Good luck!

I think everyone misunderstood my question..

If I buy a factory moonroof from a GS, with all wiring, tracks, switches, etc..

Can I have it installed on my RS?
