I've never seen one with that type of modification. It might look cool depending on how well it is done. Will it interfere with the structural integrity of the car? Will it enhance or devalue the value of your car compared to similar vehicles without the modification? Do you feel lucky?

I've seen it with a sunroof, and it doesn't look bad. I just think it ruins the spine that flows through the car, but that's just me. There's a pic somewhere on this forum, I'll see if I can find it.

Found it, this is one of Andrew's pics

Do a search of t-tops, there have been several threads started about the topic. Lots of opinions.

i definately think a targa would look good, but the lack of structural integrity of an already somewhat flimsy roof would have to be called into question. but i guess it wouldn't be any worse than a roadster integritywise... thats for sure. i agree that it would also ruin some of the body lines chrysler designed for the coupes' to have.

DG already thought of this....it's called a Roadster. And it's about 100 lbs heavier than a coupe because of the extra gusseting to maintain structural rigidity.

If you're worried about structural integrety of the car, maybe one of these would be the answer.

Not the comment I would have expected from a "T-top Man". Good to know you're still as unpredictable as ever.
(Great find by the way)
