hahah. being a unibody car, its really hard to. you cut the top off and the rest of the body looses alot of support/rigidity. You have to reinforce frame on the sides if you want to even think about doing that.
its been talked about alot, and no-one has ever duplicated it. closes we have is i think richie (aftermath alero) with an aftermarket ragtop sunroof.

^your car might fold like a piece of paper, you may want to do some research first.

That's right.
The car didn't have a top. I have a pic of it somewhere. It was made as a concept but never produced. It had an actual VIN, but unknown if it was road worthy due to a weakened body due to no roof, which unibody cars rely on

or you could, build a subframe and hide it with some side skirts. That way the car can support its self still and you wont have to worry about it folding like a paper crane.

..or... it'll fall apart. there would be nothing to hold up the metal on the sides of the car. all the support would be gone. |
