Any body shop can do it but honestly... it probably won't be worth the money.
The sunroof in total probably weights upto 40lbs... i say go on a diet and loose the 40lbs before you spend the $$$$$$$ to get rid of the sunroof.

take out all but the driver seat, all the carpet, all the trim, headliner, spare tire, cd player, and all the body molding you don't need.... then you can leave the sunroof in and still be faster.
edit: don't forget to take out the interior bulbs

Sunroof Removal.. done it.. $3500 labor and paint.. and to top it all off the car was 4 days old.. haha.. i used a carbon-fiber filler made custom made by Inline Four.. cost $1200.. I have a 2004 Civic Coupe EX!!!!!!!!!!
u get about 50 pounds out of the car by removing everything udon't need... door mouldings, centre console, seats, rear deck, trunk ****...
thank god i never got a sunroof...good invention, but not for cars that go on track....it weakens the structural rigidness of the vehicle...that's why race cars don't have sunroofs...for example, type-r's...never had/or will have sunroofs...

There's no point in removing it. Too much work, too expensive, and try explaining the big CF patch in the roof after that. Much riceage. But, if you go thru with it, I'll take the sunroof...I should have bought EX.

And why would anyone buy an EX or anything with a sunroof if you want to make your car seriously fast. Anybody who "needs" to take out their sunroof just to save a few pounds is crazy for buying that car.
Shoulda shaved money by:
1 Not getting sunroof
2 Not having to pay out the @ss to have it removed
3 Bought a lower model that costs less and weighs less to begin with
Why in the world would you have that done 4 DAYS after buying the car. Obviously you knew you wanted to get rid of it to begin with. Damn you could have bought a lower model. Saved that $3500 plus the price of a lower model and then done a swap IMMEDIATELY!?!?!?

The reason why i did it is to have a true EX and i wanted the rims and the motor - i have the sunroof lying in my garage and if u wanna buy it pm me... i shaved a total of 67.4 pounds when i removed all things linkin to the sunroof.. and when the sunroof was removed i added 1x1inch aluminum bars to add rigidity to the roof so i added 10 pounds but its still lighter than a LX and i can smoke any1's stock EX now not to mention a stock LX
wow. not smart at all. sorry but
buy an lx, save a couple grand, take the sunroof de-install money and get yourself a k series or a turbo with install. either way, you dumb as nothing else i have ever seen.
also, with an lx, if you had look around on this site, you can do a conversion to vtec using ex head.

What a loser. I've got money also "mr. tuner dude" lmao. But that doesnt mean i'm dumb about it. How about instead of spendind 3k on removing a sunroof. I put a downpayment on my 4th appartment building. You cry baby. STFU!!! You're such a moron. If you want to smoke someone put that money into a swap! Oh yea. And you can keep your civic with it's 50lb diet. Then i'll smoke you with my camaro. LOSER

my sister spent $1500 to get a sun roof installed on her corolla S then she moved to las vegas and doesn't even use it because its too hot and she needs the AC.
sun roofs are a waste of money IMO....especially trying to have them removed.
condows....lol

or you could just drive around on one gallon of gas in your tank at all times. That'll save the extra 11? gallons of gas weight.
I'm thinking about removing my driver seat and installing an aluminum lawn chair for weight reduction.
I may not even screw it into the floor.
Screws=Weight = Go slow
