I bought a JDM optional rear view mirrior for my Si that has maplights built in. You could probably find a similar mirror from a newer car and wire it up. Most window mounted mirrors all mount the same way. just an Idea.

The maplight only sticks up out of the headliner about a half an inch. So you should have enough room to mount it.

I've installed my Si maplight, but I also don't have a sunroof.

Maybe someone will actually have one, or you could just pop your headliner down, and measure the space that you would have. It would kinda suck though.
