TRUE/FALSE ***97-01 type-r with sunroof.***
Is is true that the integra type-r 97-01 had an option of a sunroof...is that true? if so, was it in the states, canada? Everywhere? Thanks!

Re: TRUE/FALSE ***97-01 type-r with sunroof.*** (kourjakian)
It was NEVER a *factory* option on any ITR!
However, some dealers may have installed aftermarket sunroofs (i.e. ASC) which operate similarly to OEM units with power controls, glass sunroof panel, sliding sunshade, etc.
The trick is to look at a few things.
1. The sunroof seal. An OEM sunroof will have a felt-like seal which allows water to pass by. An aftermarket sunroof will have a rubber watertight seal
2. An OEM equipped sunroof car will have drains in the fraim of the car at the A&C pillars. This allow water which runs by the felt seal to exit the car and not end up in the interior. An after market sunroof will not (and cannot) do this and must have a rubber watertight seal to keep the car dry.
3. OEM sunroof generally sit flush with the roofline while aftermarket roof after stick up slightly because of the rubber seal and/or glass.

Re: TRUE/FALSE ***97-01 type-r with sunroof.*** (typer_801)
Good info tpper_801, and I have seen a few guys with the deal option sunroof here on HT. I honest wonder if that makes a noticable different in stiffness of the chassis. (which I wouldn't expect for daily driving.)

They weren't. They were R's with sunroofs.
It's not that hard to put in an aftermarket sunroof.

How's that for a Integra RS? Would have fooled me, just as I have seen a PY ITR that was done very similar and could have fooled most (It started as a GSR so it had a sunroof).
Putting a sunroof in a real R is like putting Jenna Jameson in childrens movies.
