Installing moonroof

Is this possiable? to say take a moon roof off another rx7(or any car really) and transfer it over? Ive always wanted one in my car was wondering what the price of this would be and if you could even do it.

Yeah, like cuting the hole for it. I just kinda worried about the stablity of it frame wise, will it affect anything?

Ok b/c i came across a moon roof for a rx7 and ive always wanted one and wasnt sure what it would do to the car by adding it. If it required more then just a cut and place and weld type of deal or if i had to like strenghten the roof or something due to the stablitiy of it being compromised.

I think it would be dumb,

no sunroofs on fc's are somewhat desirable,
and if you were to cut a hole in your roof it would affect bodyflex, and rigidness,

deff. not worth it imo.

I'm going to be working on my sunroof in the near future. Wouldn't it just be a simple thing to swap out the sun roof and put in the moon roof? or is there more to it than that?
