Anybody know a shop in Seattle that will cut off the top of my new Honda Insight, and fab me a removeable hardtop? If not, is there a minitruck or an S2K that could be modded to fit it? Can't believe I'm the only one that wants this...

 

dude....honda makes a hard top as does VIS and mugen which make a carbon fiber version

 

Thanks! I'm just an old dudette, new to car stuff, trying to find what I want..which is a hybrid convertible. Can't find it, so I'm gonna hire someone to make it!

 

No one makes a replaceable top for an insight. It's going to have to be a totally custom job. Look for a realllllly good custom body shop in your area to have a look at it. Most places wouldn't want to touch that job though in all honesty.

 

i apologize, i missread the post. your pretty much screwed and a custom hard top will end up being garbage i can almost promise ya

 

you are going to lose some gass millage with the extra weight they need to add to strenghten the frame just make sure the shop knows what the hell they are doing because thats a lot of precise work you dont just cut the top off. expect somwhere in the neighborhood of a 10k bill

 

wow, that'd about be the gayest thing yet

and insights suck...slow as *****, ugly, and overpriced

Good post...your % is droping daily huh

Way to be different, if you do get this done, make sure you take pics!

 

oooohhh noooo!!!!!!!

either way, anyone that buys an insight for any reason other than swapping in a real engine and using it for some type or drag racing, is...well...just plain stupid

they don't even get that good of mileage. a local lady was getting like 32-35mpg out of it....haha...what a waste
