Default 2000 Prelude Targa Top conversion? Is it possible? Please look

Isaw 2 pictures of targa top coversion on a 97+ prelude. How much does a targa conversion cost? Do you have to reinforce the bottom of the car so it wont collapse? Will it effect the balance of the car? Since I already have a sunroof, woudnt it just be like an extended sunroof, so nothing would have to be changed except cutting the whole and putting a latch? Please respond.

It would have a HUGE negative impact on the stiffness of the frame.

The pictures you likely saw are photoshopped.

Structural rigidity would go to ****... if you're going to build a show car, then I guess it wouldn't matter then.
