thats a whoooole lotta work putting in a factory roof. once the hole is cut the edges "roll" in (towards the seat) than the sunroof housing is welded to the rolled-in flange. for an aftermarket sunroof (which i install) your looking around 1100$ and dont get an ASC sunroof they suck a$$. go with webasto thats what we install and rarely have a problem. i really dont think anyone puts in factory roofs. what you can do if you have the money, get the roof reskinned with one with a factory roof. hope this helps.

I thought about that as well butt have no idea how much this will cost. all the oem parts are like $600 iwas hoping it would be anoher $1000 to put it in.

it would be cheaper to get an aftermarket one. if you could find the webasto hollandia 700 series somewhere they have one touch open/close 2 position presets and an auto close so when you turn your car off it closes and those should be round 1100-1200 and the quality is a lot better than oem. the only thing you have to worry about is possibly replacing the headliner every 5 years or so..they tend to sag after a couple of years. but if you could find a reputable shop i think this would be the way to go. good luck
