Targa would look best and the roof is easy to cut (framed underneath so it wouldn't be bad) but the side being all one stamped piece makes me say no...

think of it as being slightly stronger than a vert. Add sfcs and you have nothing to worry about, unless you would have been twisting the unibody anyway
