I also don't know about the availability of the gc8 in countries other than Japan/US.

Yes, the JDM GC Impreza glass sunroof is the same size as the SVX's metal one. There were not that many differences between the JDM SVX and the USDM, a few extra options, different lights, different climate control, 4 wheel steering, different all wheel drive system if my memory serves me correctly.

So U R saying we could put a glass sun roof in the SVX. Would that be very difficult or impossible?

Yeah but remember, you will not have privacy anymore with a moonroof which has no cover on the inside.

What's a GC8?

Re: Silverspear

Thanks for reminding me that I'm getting old.. I hadn't even realized that I haven't "christened" my SVX.... yet! lol..

It is almost confirmed, JDM <2001 Subaru Impreza moonroofs fit the SVX. Just met a friend who has a 99 Subaru Impreza GT Turbo, took measurements of the hatch and they match perfectly.

How do we get our hands on a glass panel. Mine is faded. It would cost almost as much to paint the entire roof as to replace it with glass. How hard is it to do?
