    Do a search. People have done both and there's existing threads on those subjects. Sunroofs cost about $1000 or more, if memory serves me right. Not sure what people have done about replacing seats, but I'm sure a search will help you.

    Re: Anyone install a sunroof yet?

    I had the dealer install the sunroof prior to delivery, and the cost was $990. It's an inalfa asi 750FF. It tilts and slides (internally), and had a sliding sunscreen. They did a great job. (Or rather, the place they sent it to did!)

    The only thing that drives me nuts about this model is the 'auto close' function. As soon as I open the door, it closes. Living in Arizona, I WANT it to stay slightly open to give some circulation while parked.

    The way to prevent auto-closure? Open door, press sunroof button at the same time. It tells the sunroof to stop whatever it's about to do.

    I LOVE having the sunroof.

    Keep us posted on yours!

    Did anyone respond to you on the seat. That would be something I would be interested in too.

    Thanks.

    Do various searches regarding the seats. FYI, I know two people who put in Volvo seats, one person who put in a Recaro driver's seat, one person who put in a Corolla driver seat height adjuster, one person who has extended the driver seat rails back 3 or 4 inches, and one or two people who have lowered the driver seat.
