    It will involve cutting a hole in the roof, adding support brackets and getting many parts off an LX-i or SE-i. Do you want it to be electrical or just so you can crack it open a little?

    Easy way: pop-up sunroof (the ones that only pop open they dont slid back)
    Expensive Way: go to a sunroof place and have a electric moonroof installed for about $1000.00 +
    or
    just get one off another 3G like russiankid said and install it yourself like Ramthis has done.

    Yep I have one. I love mine. With mine, you can have it tilt in 4 different positions or you can take it completely out and have an open roof, and doing that only takes 5 seconds at most. Mine has been in my car since, basically, when the car was new, and I havn't had any problems with it.

    if you have any welding experience and dont mind cutting your roof then it would be a easy for you.
    you should PM Ramthis and ask him how it went for him.
    Here's the link to the sunroof install that he did Click Me :
