hey HT iam in the market on buying a new project car and I found 96 honda civic coupe DX. and it has a sunroof......and he said it was a option when the car was new. is this true or is he full of BS.

heres a pic of the sunroof


and heres a pic of the car

 

pretty sure when the car is new u can add the sunroof... but of course you gotta pay for it. Kinda like any other car company, when u buy a new vehicle you always have the option of adding something better from the factory such as bigger engine, different transmission, sliding back glasses (on trucks) so i dont see why u wouldnt be able to add a sunroof on a dx civic from honda.

 

yea thats what i was thinking!! iam going to go check it out later today

 

it looks aftermarket.

 

Sunroofs were NOT offered on DX models in the US and there was no option to add it. If you wanted one, you'd have to buy an EX or Si. That's aftermarket.

BTW, A/C was an OEM option. It was added to my '95 DX Coupe.

That should be BS. Check to see if it has no ac & power options to see if it's a DX.

 

it deff is a dx! no power windows but it does have a/c!

 

any1 else??

 

99% sure it was a dealer option. Every dealer is different though.

 

any1 know of a way to check?

 

i seen a 95 with one yesterday, wierd

 

my cousin use to have a 98 hatch DX with a sunroof on it...she bought it like that and im sure it was custom put on

did it look like my pic??
and why did you think it was "custom"

 

like i said its more yhan likelyy an aftermarket sunroof. When you go to look at it look and see where the switch for the sunroof is.

 

DXes did not come FROM THE FACTORY with a moonroof.

The moonroof pictured above is aftermarket. The stock moonroof has a different assembly and requires the entire roof panel to be replaced.

The current owner is probably correct in saying it was offered to him as an option when it was new. This would be a "dealer option" and is not a Honda part.

It's just like the leather seats for 6th gen Civics. The company would contact a local company and hire them to install whatever part it was they wanted installed (this counts for tint, leather seats and a moonroof).

 

I had a friend with a 1993 DX and it for sure had a factory sunroof but the car had no buttons or anything to open it.Turns out the the car was in a magor side collision and the whole roof was replaced with and EX roof car had weld marks and everything car was bought at an auction so dident really check it out,but that sunroof does look aftermarket to me. This might be something to look into though before buying!!

 

well i went to look at it....and it was deff a aftermarket sun roof! thanks guys!!!
