There's no such thing as a good after-market sun or moonroof. Even the best installs usually leak after a few years. You're better off buying a different car.

My Advice: Try to get the EX moonroof pulled from a car at a salvage yard (give www.partsadventure.com a try for a broader salvage search). If you are lucky enough to locate one, try to find a dealer that will install the OEM part from a salvaged car into your car.
Peep my website (Sound Dampening page) to see what the removed sunroof of a 5th gen looks like. That biitch comes right out with the removal of about 8 10mm bolts!
Shocked the hell outta me when I was trying to sounddampen my roof. I undid 8 bolts or so and pulled out this "tub" on the roof. I then looked up thinking "I didn't leave the sunroof open, did I?" Turned out I had removed the damn sunroof assembly!
That's okay. I got that sunroof nice and sounddampened while it was out. Layer on the bottome, and inside. As well as a layer on the actual roof of the car itself!

I speak for my old car that my brother now has. I got a Finlandia one touch power moonroof (tilt) installed for under $600. It creaks occaisonally, but a piece of folded paper placed in the front of it stops it. It has never leaked and has been very nice. Money very well spent
I can't remember for the life of me where I got it...it was some shop here in Syracuse. My memory blows

Spending $1000 for a sunroof is a complete waste of money. Enjoy your car the way it is right now and get one with an OEM roof next time.
I may be totally off base, but I've known a LOT of people with aftermarket installed sun roofs. I've never known any that have not had leaks, structural problems or other damage caused by water or poor installation. Personally, I could think of a lot of other things to spend $1000 on.
