May as well check if the GC8 glass panel can fit instead of our metal ones.

Re: interchangeable fyi
Although I don't have a problem with either sunroof, It would be nice to know in advance that the glass panel fits. Please let us know what you find out.

Re: interchangeable fyi
I read somewhere that the glass panel does indeed fit, however you have to get a JDM one as the USDM one is the wrong size.

Re: interchangeable fyi
Awesome, most of the parts are JDM over here.

Re: interchangeable fyi
You mean from a JDM gc8 not a JDM SVX. How about gc8's in other nonUSDM?

Re: interchangeable fyi
I was addressing HONDASUCKS's post that said that," the glass roof panel had to come from a JDM car because USDM panels didn't fit". I wanted clarify that he was referring to a JDM gc8 and not a JDM SVX. For all I know about JDM SVX'S they may have had a glass option. I also don't know about the availability of the gc8 in countries other than Japan/US.

Re: interchangeable fyi
So U R saying we could put a glass sun roof in the SVX. Would that be very difficult or impossible?

Re: interchangeable fyi
Yeah but remember, you will not have privacy anymore with a moonroof which has no cover on the inside.

Re: interchangeable fyi
It is almost confirmed, JDM <2001 Subaru Impreza moonroofs fit the SVX. Just met a friend who has a 99 Subaru Impreza GT Turbo, took measurements of the hatch and they match perfectly.

Re: interchangeable fyi
How do we get our hands on a glass panel. Mine is faded. It would cost almost as much to paint the entire roof as to replace it with glass. How hard is it to do?
