To be honest, I thought the same idea a few weeks ago. I was thinking more an OEM hardtop over the Spoon monstrosity...still rather curious...

But LOVE the spoon hartop! So why not have the best of both worlds! Here is my MS paint while at work of what it would kinda look like. What you think?


I love this idea. I've thought about this for awhile now, but with a Mugen top. People are always afraid of change, and what HAS NOT been done yet. I think this is a great start towards a great idea. Can you do another chop, but paint those little fake triangle windows black like everyone else usually does. It's just too much white. I'd love to see any other tops you have ''chopped''.

And I don't know why that convert subie is in here. Looks nothing like what you are trying to do. At least post something TARGA related.

p.s. Also paint that car again as if it had the windshield tape removed. I think that would help it out alot.

A folding top like the Ferrari Superamerica 45 would be awesome!

lol'd at the gifs in this thread. Nice work bros.

And just because something hasn't been done before doesn't mean it's a decent idea. Maybe there's a reason this is unchartered waters?
