im talking about the whole roof. i saw a silvia with it done...looked 1000 times more aggressive. and i really think that if this was done to a hatchback cleanly it wouldn't "disrupt" the lines at all. it would just enhance it. i mean you cant deny that the dodge on the bottom (which is PS'd) looks like it wants to eat your babies while you sleep it so mean looking. be that as it may i also believe that it would be easier to achieve on a vert.
im more just curious if anyone has had any first hand experience with this.

Its undoable on a hardtop rx7. Yea you could chop it, but it would require sectioning the roof, sloping the windsheild, and a whole bunch of other little tedious time consuming things. Then you get to the back glass and realize your fooked!
Best example I can come up with is google for the chop top fieros. Lot of work for a certain look.

First off it’s a 4 door car, so right off the bat it should be sent to a car crusher at a junkyard (if it was even real). Secondly it looks like a car that a mobster bought for his wife to get the kids and groceries in. You know what, its not worth talking about.

I can't for the life of me find the pic of that s15 chop top. i think for those who have not yet seen it, it might change their mind.
i think this would be a better example. though it is photoshop'd. now if you say that this is not cool looking, you're a complete freakin homo.

.... GTFO?There is a reason that it was doable on old american cars: They were ****** huge! There was enough room to fit a sumo wrestler in the back seat! also, the cars had really high positioned, and poorly designed bench seats, high ride height, and there was no concern for "weight".
Nowadays, most cars are designed to make the car as light as possible, and use the least material as posible to do what you want with the design. So, in a modern-ish car like the FC, the roof is already as low as it should go.
Oh, and that C5 looks like an old person's ***! You must be
"a complete freakin homo"

The DRFT D1 S15 has a chop top, looks bad ***, but not exactly easy to do. would require custom glass all the way around and fabbing up the pillars to line up. You'd have to get some buckets that can be mounted extremely low, because I'm only 5' 10" and have to lean the seat back more than what I'm used to to keep my head from hitting the roof.
Just go do a search for the DRFT S15 to find some more pics of it somewhere on the net.

I agree. Now a chop top FD on the other hand...
I'm just kidding, do what you want with your FC. As previously stated, mount the seats very low and take a hacksaw to that sucker. Just don't do it on a good condition FC, at least not to start with. But most importantly, take lots of pictures!
