like the topic says, is it possible to cut the roof open,but still maintain structural rigidity? I saw a pic somewhere on here, and it looked reallly nice. just wonderin what somthing like that must cost.

 

that picture was a photoshopped one, but if you really want to do it, and you have the money, im sure its possible. But I doubt it'll be able to hold up to daily driving and still be able to hold up. And I doubt it would be very safe if you ever got into an accident.

 

anything is possible with the right amount of money... so yeah of course you could to it... but it would almost without a doubt ruin the integrity of the body and would pretty much only be useful as a show car

 

i believe that there was a prelude concept car that was a convertible.. it look damn good... I can't remembar where i saw it though.,.

 

13k... Thats what the local body shop quoted me for a flawless targa top conversion with invisible reinforcement, storage rack for the top like in a del sol, removed window frames that are atached to the body and top....

 

No, it's not possible to maintain all of the structural rigidity after removing the roof. ...Well, you might get close by installing a full 6pt roll cage welded to the frame, but that's adding around 100lbs to the car.

GAY but Possible!

 

hahahah ^^ that looks awful

 

Pics don't do it justice. Looks much better in person especially since he had a panel made for it now. I've seen the car and met the owner it has a lot of underbracing done to the frame to compensate for the missing section. Definitly expensive though

 

man that look so ugly look at where he cut the frame of the door it must look stupid when the doors are open it just looks like its goin to cave in at anytime

 

there is a guy with a works-in-progess with a 4th gen (yeah i know you asked for a 5th gen)

he used the targa off the del sol

its looking pretty good too

 

there's a shop in Margate, Florida called Autotronics that did a convertible 5th gen, they used to have it parked outisde the shop all the time. If I remember correctly, it's kind of a baby blue color with a white interior.

Enjoy Targa 5th gen lude.

 

im not sure about this but you could keep the rigidity of the car by installing roll cage....please correct me if im wrong.

does anyone have any pics of the 4th gen targa top. where the guy used the del sol targa top?

 

I kind of like it. It would look smooth as expletive on an all black non ricey 5th gen lude.

 

he didn't use the del sol top....he just used the brackets to fab his own.......i am pretty sure i saw this on 92lude.com somewhere and he had his mechanic do a lot of under bracing to keep the car rigid

 

4th gen in progress:

 

damn, someone just fucked up a RHD 4th Gen Prelude! !! !

No...No.....No.......It is not a good idea

 

3rd Gen
4th Gen
Hella cool eh

 

why in the flying **** would you cut the door ? lol moron.

I wanna see what kind of seal hes got on the window when it rains.

 

I dont like the convertibles.

But I think the 4th gen targa top is gonna look good

 

So much hate!

you guys are just pissed he thought of it, and actually followed through with it, and even sturdying up the body for it.

You think it is gay b/c he wins shows and still has a pretty quick car.

 

I'm not going to lie...I dont like the Targa on the 5th gen...But as far as the 4th gen Convertible...I have to say I like it!
