If you're going inexpensive, I'd just buy an electric sunroof (spoiler style) And install it yourself.

I paid $500 for the one I installed in my old S10 ZR2. And it took about 4 hours to install. Measure twice, cut once... and when you do cut that once... make it too small first and then gradually increase

Installing an electric one (as long as it's a spoiler style, not a "built in" style) Is just as easy as installing a manual sunroof.

I got a quote a few years back around my way for a manual pop-up/removable moon roof for around $375 with a lifetime guarantee for leaks, malfunction, even paint around the trim. I considered buying my own and just doing the install since I have past experience, but I simply do not have the tools and it's always nice having a warranty/guarantee as a backbone regardless. Getting hokey with some t-tops in my VX and blasting it back to the 70's would be even more fun, but that is some painful works and I don't think the VX's a-pillar frame is stable enough for such.

Disclaimer: I have done MANY tt-top/moon/sunroof installs on many cars in the past, and they are relatively fast and easy, for skilled installers that is, heh. If you have never done it and do not have the proper equipment, totally, let the professionals do it. You will be kicking yourself silly when you mess up just the slightest and suddenly the you have a gaping, scraped up, dented hole in your roof that your moon roof simply falls through onto your lap.

Ok... I know its out there but I can't use that search function (it hates me)
what's the part/kit number and company name for the expensive kit and where could I get it? I wouldn't have done this but like I said, the search function hates me.

SoCal...

I'd recommend doing an ebay search... When you find one for a price you like, do a google search for that same make and model. See what info reviews, pricing etc. you can find outside of ebay, then Plan according.

I bought mines on ebay.com for $ 150 brand new,the installation goes around $ 300.
The funny thing of this top off sunroof is that you can tilt either from the front or the rear.

Do you remember what brand and size it was? Thanks

The sunroof brand is Remove-A-top,I find out that the company went out-of-business three months ago

According to the molding used to cut through the roof the size is 16.5" width by 30.5" lenght;I also believes that's the biggest size you can go with.

It looks very good though.

Sorry i didn't had few pics & my girlfriend took the camera now with her to the dominican republic last week for vacations

As soon she's back i'll have a couple of pics & e-mail them to you so you can have a idea how it looks

But deffinetly you can find dozen of manual sunroof out there,just do a tight research & you"ll find the right one
