Just take your car to a mexican chop shop in east LA. I'm sure you could find somebody that would be happy to F your car up!

Hey,
If you're going to go through that hassle (due to the contours of the roof), you might as well try T-tops. Before thinking I'm nuts, it may be more worth while to cut the roof and create a fiberglass (or plexiglass) form to use as panels. You would still have a hard roof, while having a greater open-air feel than a sunroof. If you go down one of these paths, keep us informed.
Good Luck!!

Good Lord NO!!
t-tops wont work, there is an aluminum strut on both sides that links the windshield frame to the rear tube structure.
A sunroof would only be advisable if it popped up a minimum of 4" at the rear. at 4" this would create a negative pressure vortex that would....naaaaahhh

The only GTS that I know of that had a sunroof is the actual 96 GTS Indy 500 Pace car. So if you really want it done...it can be.
Here is a picture I took back in 1996 at the Indy 500...

Dont laugh all that hard, the original GTS used to pace the Indy 500 did have a roof hatch(removable) to allow for some photography. i was actually suprized that it did not make it into production or as an option, being that it already had been produced/developed.

They come with a stock sunroof, it's called a RT/10.

thanks for someone posting those pics, to confirm the details i spoke of. I was driven around the speedway in '96 by Lynn St. James in that car during time trials week( 125+ w/ AC on and radio going)

I would not recommend doing this under any circumstance. My previous car was a 3rd generation Mazda RX-7. It had a similar double bubble roof albeit not as pronounced. Mazda did have a factory sunroof option that followed the countours of the roof. Anything is possible but why would you want to do this?
