Hmm, I'd kinda like to see that, although I couldn't picture an FD with a targa.

I've only ever seen an eclipse with a non factory style targa top. Never seen a rx7 but if you can do it on an eclipse then it should be possible on a 7, although I'm not too much for targa tops myself.

Wouldn't that seriously reduce it's structural integrity....I mean..that would be bad right? More twisting of the frame?

I like the targa top look. Honda del sol's also have them. But if I wanted a supra I would try for the hard top (complete roof no targa top) due to the fact that they are rare. I would just go to a really reputable custom body shop. If you lived in so. Cal. I could hook you up with one. As far as structural integrity, that's a good question. Of course I don't think you plan on rolling yours.

Addressing the sturctural rigidity issue, some fo the MK3 supra people use bars that cross under the bottome of the car to increase rigidity when the roof is off. I tihnk suprasport.com has them if u want to see a pic or something.

That's actually the Scoot Sports FD, it has the scoot hood and actually it's a RE Amemiya N1 front on it. Do a search for Scoot and you should find more pics.

naaa man i still dont think so, look at the big ugly black box thingies stuck on that yellow one, and ita all balck at the bottom like i said before. Dam that front is ugly. If you can find a better pic of that exact red one next to the ugly pink one then maybe i just might belive you.

yeah... riiiiight... thats the ReA AD front bumper man... its specifically made for track performance racing... its made of kevlar or cf for a reason... weight and aerodynamics... it may look stupid... but its one of the best ReA products...

ps: sorry for all the ...'s
