knmaynard Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Any kits available, or is it just find a reputable shop you really really trust with a saw? Is this just not worth the effort, and if so, where would I start looking? Thanks. PS - New to board and learning a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin L Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 you are crazy if you think people sell convertible kits. if you want to convert your car to a convertible, hard or soft top, it will definately be a custom job. there is a place in newport beach in southern california who does such a job. soft top starts at 15k i believe and hardtops start at 40k. good luck pahtnah!

SEAN_VANCE Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 If I were you I wouldnt even bother doing this, if done properly you will end up without a back seat and heavy as hell... I dont know if you ever had a convertible car before, but what happens is that since theres no roof support (the roof acts like a chassi) they have to put this hughe metal bars in the center of the car to keep it from flexing. I had many convertibles before, Rx7, del sol, miata, .....if you really want to see a car flex get into a del sol without the targa on...and thats in a little car....you can just imagine in a big car like sc with NO roof at all.....so basically you have to add this hughe pieces of metal that will slow you down, and you will have no back seat cos from what ive noticed theres no other space where to stick support bars on that car. And if a shop tells you not to wrry about that they are lying cos u need new support from somewhere.....so dont bother dude, not to mention the amount of $$$$$$ thats going to cost , cos u have to take it to a reputable place otherwise they can really mess ur ride up.

knmaynard Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Nuff said, thanks. Once again, learning a lot from this forum. Was mostly a curiosity, if not too much hassle or $, but sounds like that's not the case. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
