    Lightbulb Can someone photoshop a convertable 3g...I got an idea

    As some of you might have noticed by my coffee can intake, I have an 87 accord that I get to play around with. Well the propane and rigged intake aren't enough. It is awfully nice today, around 65, 70 degrees and I'm cruisin with all my windows down (I love power windows) but it just wasn't enough. I got to thinkin that a convertable 3g would be pretty cool. Before you flame about how the structure of our cars aren't made to be a convertable and what not, could someone photoshop me some ideas on this conversion? Anything would be cool (cut all the way, from behind the driver/passenger) use your imagination. If someone can come up with a good looking one for me, I'll do it asap. thanks,

    Chad

    Well there is a guy on here that made a pickup out of a 3g so why not. Someone made cabriolet 2g ludes back in the day so I should think a 3g coupe's body structure could manage it too. I dont think you would want a 4 door cabriolet though

    I would settle for a 1/2 removable roof although the aerodynamics I think would be bad. But I have seen it on other cars why not a 3G ?

    That's what I was thinking...1/2 removable, but I need to know what it would look like. I saw someone a while back photoshopped a red hatch and it looked like a VW cabrio so, I think it would be better to see what it looks like before I get a result like that.

    i think you should make it a hard top if you do it. Cloth top would just look really stupid. The T top would look sweet. Also, if you need more air, why dont you just get a sunroof?

My god if I owned that car, I would drive around town all day long just so that everybody could see my blingin pimp ride. Damn that's nice :thumbdown

    Oh lord, you're just making a name for yourself, with the coffee can first and now onto this. Are you going to keep the rear window and C-pillar intact?

    Hehehe, the rear window is already gone (My friend was trying to pry the rubber lining out and the window just popped) and yes, the c-pillar is still there. It is cut from just above the front window to the c-pillar, you'll all see, it's gonna be the coolest 3g ever! and your all gonna say "gee chad, can I ride in that pimp 3g" and I'll say sorry guys, my propane tanks and my ego are taking up all the seats ...what have I gotten myself into
