who cares... if they made the chassis stiffer, then well, there you go. If they didnt, it doesnt matter, its a show car not a DD. Now if they were selling cars like that, then i would care

Alright well what about if you were to do the targa top and weld a roll cage in the car? Wouldnt that serve as more reinforcement than the roof did in the first place?

fail on the mirrors

also not a fan of the paint underneath the headights and grill, or the way they chose to start painting the a pillars higher up the pillar, it would look better imo, if the began the gray paint further down the pillar, and made it look like it kinda flowed with the carbon on the hood. Make it look more like a consistent two tone paint job, with the top gray and the bottom pink, instead of having gaps like that.
But the targa top looks pretty sick


also, even if you did have a rollcage, this would probably not be very practical for a dd, cuz i doubt the roof can be reattached easily.
But if it is done so that the roof can be removved and reattached easily, thatd be sick, and i would taotally do it if i had the cash
