It is totally possible. You just have to reskin the roof. Just most important to find a good body shop. Might as well do a full paint job as well, or you can just blend the roof (not recommended)

Few required items:
1. The non-sunroof skin is very cheap too (compared to shipping) (ask ray)
2. Afterwards you just need this brace that links the front of the frame to the back (also cheap). Helps to prevent the roof from fixing downward.
3. non-sunroof dome lights.
4. non-sunroof headliner (more expensive then the skin i think, if new)

Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda. He gives outstanding pricing to RX7club members. Do a simple search on his name (or Malloy Mazda) and his contact info will pop up...

I was checking out the prices yesterday i think.i might just do it. I really hate the sunroof. The skin is 121 and the brace is like 30for each side. The headliner is like 250 new. Sshipping is prob about 100-200 for all so your looking at 5-600. I was thinking about doing it myself but il let the body shop do it.
