if your talking about just moving the roof skin then yes you cut down under the black strips.

Here is a page that shows how I re-roofed my EF and went from sun-roof to non-sun-roof;

http://www.performanceforum.co....html

Trying to add a sun-roof is a lot more difficult due to a lot of little issues. One is adding the drain lines (not as easy as it may sound!!). There is wiring that has to be added and routed through the body cavity adjacent to the windshield. There are also brackets that have to be accuratly added to the body framework adjacent to the top of the doors that supports the sun-roof panel.

The outter skin is the easy part.

It's not easy!!
