No kidding. And then tell a dealer that there was a limited amount made.

I just realized that this is the same guy that had a Black 03 listed several times with NR and would pull it just before the end of the auction.

[offroadkarter]

"No scratches or any other blemishes to talk about."

Then what the F*** do you cann that vertical gash under the drivers headlight on the bumper?

It looks like a quality installation.
ALL Sunroofs/Moonroofs are aftermarket. None are installed at the factory. It's done by outside contractors.

That is an incorrect statement!

They moved the moonroof company into the assembly plant sometime in 04.

[djcwardog]

...and only 150 miles away!!! I had a 2003 in black, then sold it as I went overseas with the USMC. Now I've been back home awhile - and love that blue.... Trilogy kits still the hot ticket? A blue '03 and a self-install - kickin'!!!!

Well there ya go. I hadn't heard that. What did they do with the sunroof company?:D

[MENINBLK]

Sunroof is definitely aftermarket.
In that case it is BETTER than a factory roof.
Most aftermarket roofs have better features
and are made with higher quality.

I installed an ASC aftermarket roof in mine
and I have not had any probems with it at all.

All roofs installed at the factory were done on finished vehicles,
so NONE of them are moulded to an opening in the roof.
They all have a frame, mounted in a hole, cut into the roof.

[cyclopsram]

sunroofs are put in by an captive company called Crown, just down the road from STAP. They also do all the Police special package installations, lights and wiring and kevlar doors etc. In most cases you will see Ship Thru Crown on the Window sticker...down at the bottom.

[drwhy]

I would take some issue with an aftermarket install being better. All aftermarket installs I've seen use a modified overhead console and so you dont get the same clean look as the factory sunroof console, with the sunroof switch recess molded into the console. Cutting the hole for the aftermarket switch looks cheap in contrast.

Also there are differences in the headliner, and gain I prefer the factory molded headliner, as opposed to the stretch job done by the aftermarket installers.

[Aren Jay]

No Reserve...

Winning bid was $11k.

One mans garbage is another mans treasure. I'm surprised it went as low as it did.

[Spectragod]

These cars show up @ the auction from time to time, usually 9-10K will get a 60K mile unit. Keep in mind, this is the dealers auction, not open to the public. Just a FYI.
