No Sunroof??
Has anyone ever seen an IS-F with the ultra-rare sunroof delete option? I know it was possible in 2008 and I would prefer the extra headroom....

i remember a while ago a member mentioned that there is such option when ordering an IS-F. however, i doubt many people would actually order a is-f without the roof.

I'd love to find an 08 with no sunroof, ML, nd Nav. That would be my dream car.
Now if I could find that and soften the ride slightly (sorry I'm an E90 defector considering joining the dark side)....

The ride quality, specifically the rebound, will be significantly improved after 10K miles or so. It's much more compliance after the break-in, if you can hold out ;-).

There was an 08 USB for sale near Denver as of last week with no sunroof. Don't remember if I saw it on cars.com or on ebay.

Found it on EBay... so close but I really do not want the ivory seats (to concerned about getting dirty). Thanks though - first one I have seen! Let me know if you see any others...

I will keep my eyes open for ya. I love my black seats, the white looks awesome but I'm sure they are a lot harder to keep clean.

Yes, I never use my sun roof, and would much prefer the weight savings.

Oh cool. Is that the car I'll be seeing tonight? I actually haven't sat in one with a sunroof. That will be remedied soon, yeah? haha
BTW, if you're up for it, I volunteer you to take pictures of it for everyone to see. Nothing fancy, a few snapshots will be fine, thanks
