Aside from the ugly color, retarded stance and ugly interior color, the idea of a convert looks good. I'd rock it if all else was stock or slightly modified.

^ I agree, I was actually surprised at how good this looks, minus the flamboyance of the color and interior.

My vote is its chopped... If the windows r rolled up there would be a gap where the pillars should be. Would look sic if it was any factory color with saddle interior

Reminds me of the late 80s early 90s when people did this to Nissan sentras.

Imho, it looks cool in its own way...like a Cali style weekend car. But, shouldnt they have kept those center pillars and made a support bar for extra support? It could be wrapped with some type of material or something for aesthetics. I would think whenever you chop something relatively long like a 4dr car there should be a central support. Am I thinking of this right?
