I donīt see why not, its the same car, and you can install sunroofs in pretty much every car. If you want the exact one on the EX its probably going to costo more than getting just a regular one in a different place.

You can definitely do it. Most dealers charge starting at 1k, but if you buy the parts yourself, you can probably get away alot cheaper. I have the parts book, and it looks like it shouldn't be a tremendous job. Just make sure you take it to a reputable installer. I believe there's a sunroof installers' association and they can probably recommend someone. You'll have to gt the honda headliner too. Let me know how it goes!

BTW... a few people have said in different threads that you damage the structural integrity, but that isn't true. The framing on the EX and LX/DX are the same.

You can put a sunroof on almost any car, but you have to be VERY careful that you don't weaken the roof's ability to support the car's weight in case of a rollover. Not that you're doing anything to make your Civic want to roll over or are you

Theres a company called ASC Automotive Sunroof Company...
This is where alot of the dealers get there aftermarket OEM stuff..
Spoilers, Gold trim, factory skirts etc...

Call em and tell them u were sent to them through ur local Honda dealer..
They dont usually deal with the public, unless through referalls..
I've bought 2 spoilers from them dirt cheap!!!

They can install the moonroof professioanly and at a good price

There should be no problem with getting it in there...The only problem is that aftermarket moonroofs have a tendancy to leak when it rains if it's not done by a reputable installer
