Question FD T-Tops?
Has anybody T-topped their FD? How do you go about doing it and if anybody has any pics that would be great.

I would never do such a thing...I think the sunroof is such a bad idea as it is LOL. But...unfortunately, someone already has made a t-top, and even a convertable. Pics of both can be found by searching in the interior/exterior/audio section.

I've seen a vid with a RX-7 Roadster. I was in utter shock. I was thinking why would you would you take the roof completly off a car. On top of that it had the RE Amemiya bodykit. The one with the bubble headlights. Plus it was painted pink.

Yes this is a popular option/mod.

AKA

Smokey and the Bandit mod.
Screamin' chicken mod.
Mullet mod.


Ever see a GM T-top equipped car at an auto-x with the tops in? I have, one of them wasn't in for long!

Don't let these would be flamers discourage you. If you are serious about converting your car into a t-top, tagra, hard-top convertible or whatever, ASC is as good as it gets.
