more than it would cost to buy a shell with a sunroof.
The roof structures are entirely different, you would have to:
1) find a donor roof and sunroof (+ headliner, interiorlight panel with switches, sunvisors)
2) cut the roof panel off your car (after bracing the body of course)
3) graft the new roof panel and skeleton on
4) install the sunroof
5) run all the rubber drains for the sunroof pan
6) do the body work
7) paint the roof and quarter panels (since there is no line to break the paint.
Or buy another shell (which you would need to do to get the parts anyway)

Why pay over 200 dollars to install a leak in your roof?
Trust me, I've instaleed those aftermarket types back in the day on everything from a corsica to BMW.
They ALL had to come back to be re-sealed (sealed in such a way that it no longer pops up)
Thats why I stopped putting them in.

Yea you would be better off selling your sunroofless Base to someone wanting a track car project, and find yourself a clean FC with a factory sunroof...

Here is a few sites you can look at, any professional shop can install one right for you and would come with some sort of warranty/guarantee and they are not all that expensive.
Search Google, call your local body shop and/or parts supply store you can find all kinds of information from anyone of them.
good luck!
