my new car version 9999999 (evo IX MR)

ok upon further investigation the MR package and SSL package were not available together but you could get a GSR with the SSL package but if its vin says MR then i doubt the sunroof came on the car.

ya im going to call the place tomorrow and ask about the moonroof, if it has a roof i will not be following through with the purchase, if it doesn’t i will be going thur to evaluate it and hopefully pick it up

That’s def an MR with a sunroof. You can see the two vanes that run the length of the outside of the roof that shows it has the lighter aluminum roof that came on the MR’s (the ridges were added for strenth).

Why are you afraid of an aftermarket moonroof? Do they leak?

most aftermarket roofs are put in differently than stock, not to mention the roofs structure is different

Makes sense. Good luck. Can’t say it’d be a deal breaker for me but then again it’s not my coin haha.

Yeah the MR aluminum roof is flimsy, water will make it deform. IDK who would do that though, pointless.

ya idk, i just mean if im going to be financing a car i want it to be something as reliable/nice as possible, especially when it comes to evo’s it all depends on who owned it and how it was maintained (as well as the mods etc)

HAHAHAHAHA that’s about all I have to say to you. You know the rest and it’s all history from hear on out. For real though, congrats on the new car. Too bad you weren’t picking it up this week so I can get a little test drive in :slight_smile:

Hope it works out for you. I’m loving mine.

thanks, i saw your post here and on evolutionm

calling today to try and get some more details

so it does have a moonroof (aftermarket), the guy has sold numerous evo’s and assures me its at least oem quality… guarantees no leaks or problems

pioneer navi
works exhaust
hks boost controller
monster sport hard pipes
monster sport intake
monster sport hood

Every salesman guarantees that shit. He’s obviously not gonna tell you that it does/will leak or that it’s of shitty quality.

well since its not a private sale and he is selling it at wholesale he really has no reason to lie imo… dealers are generally honest with other dealers

lol ok

ya ya i know everyone thinks car salesman are crooks and liars… anyways i will definetly double check it before i decide to drive it home

If you have to ditch the sunroof, here’s a write up on swapping out panels.

i actually like the idea of a moonroof… as long as its done properly

Did you already buy it?

I dont think so.
