Too bad i bet the car would have lost a lot of structural integrity

See... Ive wanted to do this to my Talon for years... Ive seen that same photo, and its real. As per Sebs thing, yes it prolly did. as hes put reinforcement bars across the roof. But I dont get why... When the convertible version of the eclipse lowers its top it would have the same problem no?

that definetly is real. I remember reading a whole article on it from the guy. He did alot of structural work so that it wont start destroying the chasis. So it still is pretty strong. But he spent alot of time and money on doing that right

Seb (or TE), what is it in the frame that supports it differently? Some kind of crossmember? I mean, how much diff. can the frame possibly be?

They use brackets and stronger frame. Thats why they weigh so much more than a hard top. The hardtop of a normal car plays a huge role in the stiffness of the frame, cut that out and you are gonna have major problems. So there is a pretty considerable difference between the two.
