Hello Fellow RX8 owners,

Just wondering on peoples thoughts on getting a sunroof fitted into a RX8.
I am a few weeks away from getting one put in by a Melbourne company called Prestige Sunroofs. The model of sunroof is the Stratos 300M, cost is $1595.00

Just wondering if anyone has fitted one or knows of anyone who has fitted one into their RX8. Please give me your thoughts on it.

Kind Regards,
MrRx8_R

Sunroof totally spoils the lines of the roof , also you would loose 1-2 inch of inner roof head space .
Do a search of American cars with sunroofs , imho( fugly )

I don't have enough headroom on track with helmet on so it is totally out of the question... sorry can't help

 

Was told by a dealer that Mazda dont offer sunroofs in Aust cars as it weakens the structure too much due to lack of B-pillars (I know they are offered o/s but maybe its a Aust compliance thing)

 

In the US, we really don't have an option of NOT getting the Sunroof, but all the other goodies... so either we get it, or we don't.

I heard Leather isn't a package for other countries as well... hmm.. if I had a choice I wouldn't want the leather seat, but kept everything else. Heated seats is pretty useless here in So California when it's burning hot outside even at night.

 

I drove a US RX-8 with "roof" and my personal feeling is it took up too much headroom. I am 186cm (~6'1") and when I have a helmet on I have to adjust my seat. With a 'roof it would be imposible.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Im only 5'7" and my head and hair is hitting the roof. Ive been renting one for a week now. Looks like one without a sunroof is a must. Bummer!
