yup~~~agree on that

It seems most people here are against a sunroof/targa top/etc., but I would kill for that TRD version with a targa top. It would be a throwback to the last gen Supra turbo with a targa.

I couldn't agree with you more. I absolutely love the idea of a targa top, always wanted one and with this car already reminding me of the mkiv, that would solidify it being the supra's little brother for me

Targas are rough for accident protection though... not to say they can't be done, but it requires a very strong chassis/structure to do so these days and still get good crash test results.

I'm going to assume this could add considerable weight to the car? Not to mention the tiny trunk that we currently have would be damn near useless. Still, I'd get it haha

Who cares about accident protection when you can do this?

I've had a moonroof in every Honda I've owned since 1992...none have leaked even the slightest bit.

For me, not having a roof is something I will miss tremendously as there is rarely a day it isn't used, even light rain days

Also, being a smoker makes having no roof tricky...that's my ashtray(minus the butt).

88-91 prelude ones often leak.

To be honest, I can live without a sunroof, but living in SoCal it sure is nice to have one to enjoy the sunny weather.

All Civic Si's + 1 CRX Si and the RSX...definitely all factory. Makes sense he was talking about aftermarket.

I was commenting in regards to the idea that the 86 might have had a factory option now or sometime in the future.

My 91 crx si sun roof leaked. Drain tubes clogged up, but was an easy fix. That was a fun car. Had a ZC swap with an LSD trans.
