Default convertible civic?

I saw a convertible civic the other day, and to me it looked stock. I looked like a cross between and s2000 and a del sol. The body style was that of the 92-95 years and it said civic on the back. It was totally stock, which made me think it was an original car. Has anyone ever seen one of these?

there aren't any stock convertable civics. it'd also be a bad idea because of the car frame flexing too much.

yeah the owner of this kit manufacturing shop here in so cal has a shell that he is selling of a cr-x convertible. it's totally stock, but it could have been a previous owner that did it. there is a lowrider scene here and there are convertible ragtopped hondas that cruise on the non-asian streets. seen a legend, accord, civic, and cr-x. yet other than the s2000, there is no convertibles especially with the light weight frames and chassis flex that themi6group spoke of.

Here's a "convertible" civic, actually looks pretty interesting:

Anyone remember an old Road & Track(or was it Motor Trend? Heck was it Car & Driver??? anyways, I have the article somewhere)and they did a project CR-X convertible? trippy...looked pretty clean though...

I think it looks pretty good. Slap on some nicer rims and call it a day.
