That would certainly be pretty unique to see. If it floats your boat and you have the funds I say go for it.

I would love to see it too.

How about retractible hard top convertible? The trunks on these cars may have the room to tuck a folded top, and technology exists....just saying...

I think suicide doors on the rear would look nice.

Guys on the IS forum have done it. It could look pretty boss if executed correctly. I never really looked at the B-pillar that closely on the LS430. If it was thin enough, it would look cool. If the post is too wide though, it will look funny.

SUICIDE door example:

hahahahahah. Honestly not for me, i dont think they look good, and i think it would just be a pain in the butt to be rubbing shoulders with someone when you both get in on the same side. For what it costs im sure you could do something so much cooler.

I think it would be pretty cool. If I was rich and had an extra LS or two laying around I'd try it.
