Hey, I know how all you all hate convertibles. In fact, I don't know anyone else who acknowledges they have one who regularly posts on the board. Well if you forget me I recently swapped my car to 5sp after a pretty extensive list of mods... within a few months my bodykit will be on and my car will repainted and hopefully I can hit up the show circuit before leaving for college. Anyway here's my latest creation... I messed up a little and accidentally didn't save it as an object file so I cant change it but its pretty good nevertheless for me.

everyone always gives me the heavier/auto/less structurally rigid talk.

Can we see some originals?

Convertibles aren't really that much heavier... &nbsp;2870 is the quoted curb weight, and there weren't any weight-adding options. &nbsp;I think a convertible could be a blast as a half show/half go car that sees more street time than track time. &nbsp;I'd love to see what one would look like with a roll bar or cage and a Silvia front end. &nbsp;Power it with a mild KA+T and a 5 speed... I'd hit it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

It's the CWest headlight cover. I'm waiting to get the car painted until the rest of my bodykit is put on and I get my bodywork done.

I would LOVE a convertible. &nbsp;At the time I had my S13 (92 HB) I drove a 92 or 93 white convertible... Coolest feeling ever, because I look at the dash... and it was MY car haha. .but.. I look up and see the sky. &nbsp;

My dream is to have a convertible (white or black) with Kouki front end conversion, SR swap, 5 speed swap, AND plenty of structural (bolt-on) help... springs.. etc. &nbsp;IMO, that's the most ideal 240 out there =)

You get a drop top, and Kouki front end in one thing haha

How can you not like convertibles? &nbsp;I saw this one in person yesterday, and it looks even better than the pic...doesn't do it justice.
