I have 95 talon that I bought without a sunroof. Question is, Is it possible to take a factory sunroof off 1 car and install it on my car that does not have one.
 
Yes you could do that, except it would be very time consuming. You would have to hack you're roof out to fit *perfectly* the 'other' sunroof. You would have to find a way to mount the sunroof brackets (after you've removed you're whole inside headliner). On top of all that you'll have to figure out how to setup the bottons and do the wiring.
 
You are way better off to just install one of those pop-up type sunroofs that companies will install for a few hundred dollars. If you look at a dsm with a sunroof you will quickly see why you dont want to try to put a factory one on a car that did not come with it.
 
Yes, the DSM sunroof is quite complicated. I had to switch one out on my 96 GST because the stock one broke and I replaced it with a junkyard unit. I didnt replace the wires leading up to the sunroof, but it looks like you might have to take some of the dash off to get to them. Also, it would be amazing if you were that good with a sawzall to be able to cut the sunroof out perfectly. On top of that, you would have to find a way to install the drain tubes that take rain water out of the sunroof. assembly. Over-all, if you want a stock sunroof on a DSM, then buy one that has one already.
