The picture above wouldnt be possible... since you would need bracing at the front of the car (on the windshield).

Im not that great at PS, but if someone had a picture from the same angle and spot with and w/o the hardtop... it would be pretty easy to make a quick drawing.

Yes I would, as long as the removable targa top fits in the trunk.

I'm no gem in physics and aerodynamics, but why would this require further bracing of the front windshield???

If it looked good and was weather tight I would consider one for the nasty winters we have here in the northern Sierra's. I had a fiber glass hard top for my '74 Alfa Spider and left it on all winter. I don't really want to do tha with the S, but an NSX/Del Sol type top would be cool (literally and metaphorically).

I think it might look better if you used the Mugen style top over the OEM. I think it would have a better flow with the existion lines of the car. Maybe someone with Photo Shop could Do it up for the post.

I think it would look better with a slightly different design hardtop instead of a mangled OEM top.

How about a vertical back glass with extended (fast back looking) pillars. I have seen that on some cars and thought it looked nice. I know the old vettes had them.

Alright bare with me fellas, I am not the best with Ghetto Shop. Just a crappy pic I found on the web, I did a little cut and paste and this is what I came up with. I am sure there is a better pic out there so feel free.

I like the one on the Porsche Carrera GT. Maybe something like that style would work?

Dang...I wish I could photoshop this...
