There's a big difference between the OEM hole in the roof that the factory panel installs in when compared to the hole in the roof a sawsall creates. Namely, there's a nice gasketed and self draining lip from the factory. An aftermarket kit is designed to install in a roof that's had a plain old hole cut into it.

Keep in mind how expensive a sun/moonroof is going to be when you factor in the cutting, fitting, finishing and painting labor on top of the cost of the kit itself. Personally, I'd rather spend $1000 on something other than a hole in the roof.
