Has anyone done this? If so how much does it cost & I have heard it could be a safey issue... but how could you make it where its not a safety issue? lol thx

 

wow, never seen this done before, but i don't think it'll look good. I still wanna see how it looks though

I'm pretty sure there was one person who's done this here on ht.

 

Take your structural rigidty and throw it out the window (or your newly open roof that's been hacked out).

The only way to make it "safe" would be to do a full roll cage with bars going from the front kickpanel areas, up and over the tops of the side window areas, and back to a hoop behind the front seats. However, I don't know if only a small section of roof at the back would be able to support the rear hatch and glass while open.

Another issue would be side window frames on the doors. If you leave them, it would look pretty damn wierd when the top roof section was removed. But if you hack them up, then how do you seal the windows when the doors are closed and the roof section is in place?

But then again, how would you even make the roof section to be removable... use some del Sol roof latches maybe? Otherwise it would have to be a nice-weather car only (assuming you overcame the issues of structural rigidity and the rear hatch supports).

 

i saw somebody who photo-chopped this once onto an already-slammed car, i think either prelude or integra, but it was from the side, and they have a lot of similarities. it looked pretty cool (with the tops of the doors cut out, too). pretty much a chick magnet only, not really good for motorsports, but then again, motorsports is not what the vast majority of honda owners use their cars for, so somebody might find this their ultimate dream for their car. at least it would be interesting.

 

I don't think it would be much of a chick magnet with roll-cage bars passing across right there from the top corners of the windshield back to above the rear quarter windows. I don't think there would be any other way to overcome the loss of structural rigidity on a unibody chassis that was meant to have a roof (unlike the del Sol, which was designed to not have a roof). Not to mention the whole car would probably squeek and rattle like mad, girls probably wouldn't want to ride in it.

 

But you could get mad little boiiiiiss like michael jackson y000!@!!!!!11111onee

 

how bout you just sell your teg...no give me your teg and buy a del sol.

Well if it was a G2 teg then you dont have to worry about the window frames, as the G2's dont have any.

 

A G2 teg might look sick like that... thats a good idea

 

Thats hardcore awesome, someone photochop an integra!!!

Im kinda seriously thinking about doing that or a convertible integra but i like the targa idea better

not only that, i was thinking about it in my head, woulndt you also need floor bars to connect them, you would have basically no roof support, that thing would shift like crazy

 

Lol, my Integra photoshopped to targa top!

 

just buy a del sol

 

^ no one tells me what to do with my money, so stick your " " up your ***.

lol, can anyone photochop a 94-01 Integra so we can get an idea??

 

Gray T your integra looks gorgeous Im not usually a big fan of g2s but for some reason I like yours... those GSR swirlies set it off!

 

Thanks man!

Integra_RS, I doubt you're going to get much help by telling people to shove their thumbs up their asses. Just a thought.

 

^^^LOL. I like the way the 'Lude looks though. One of my friends knows a guy that put a Targa roof in his Lude. I liked it. There was no cage or anything though so I don't know how it didn't flex constantly.

 

Just buy a miata. That's what I did.

 

I don't think cutting the roof off a hatchback is a very smart idea.
