Make My car look like a coupe
Im sure you already have a WTf look on your face.
Now onto my idea...
Sometimes I get coupe envy & I want my car to look like a coupe with a targa top.
Dont ask why or suggest to get a ttop car.
I was thinking of modifying spare parade boot and attaching just the glass part of hatch to it.
Weight is a concern, not sure if the stock hatch weighs but ws6 store sells light weight glass that weighs 11lbs but comes with price tag of almost 400.
What you think? The lines will match the curves of the car or will it even fit.
Think of the Inner side of glass being "superglued to the parade boot.

JOHNYBS - Thats what I was thinking about today.
I guess the ttop cars can manage this since the hatch is attached to the sail panel, which is basically attached the structural part of the roof.
correct me if I'm wrong.
If this idea doesn't work to make the car look targa ..then how far fetched would it be to make a hardtop piece for our cars like the ones available for miata's and corvettes.

I'm digging the hard top idea. If anyone can make it, I'll buy the first one. As long as its not like 2k$ or some crazy **** like that. Make it out of carbon fiber and I'll be your personal assistant for a year. Haha.

Right now he and I are working on an Active Aero for the T/A and since I have a vert, were gonna deff see if we can make it for them too! He has already done a working prototype for the 2010 Camaro using the GTR wing and it's SICK! We're also working on a retro style tail light for the Birds (think 1967) and LeMons style headlights.
I don't want to jack the OP's tread too much, but take a look

Okay... just got off the phone with him and he DIGS the idea! Not sure how much it will be of course, but he's deff in like Flynn! I have an idea in my head on how to do it, but what are you guys thinking?
With what I'm thinking, it can retain the 2 seater roadster look.
My ideas are:
1) Something on the lines of a Noble or Testarossa
OR
2) A split glass like the 63 vette

Not at all, I want this thread for the creativity.
I think the convertible area can be made to look cool ,
(NOT that it being a convertible is not cool enough already).
I would want to see a porsche carrera GT look.

As for your paint job, if you're looking for someone who know's his ****, it's my boy! He is moving into his new shop this weekend and should be ready to rock and roll shortly.
