This is getting interesting!Don't take it personally dude. It's just a forum. People have opinions. People are going to comment.
And also people would take these threads alot more seriously if you actually did something with them and not just go off making ten more threads about ten new ideas without ever realizing the first ten ideas you had. Just something to chew on.
If you really look into how much something like this is going to cost to produce, you're quickly going to understand that it's not realistic. It's going to cost more than your car is worth when you factor in how much labor it's going to require, getting new glass made, modifying the A pillars which are part of the door structure, making custom interior pieces, and so forth. Can it be done? Sure....who is going to do it? Probably nobody.

Wow. People love to get on the bandwagon and bash other people. It looks cool in those photoshops, reminds me of this S15 from japan that had a chopped roof.
Looks cool, but yeah you'd have to get a super low bucket seat lol.
How about a photoshop of radiused fenders? Haven't seen an sc/soarer with that done.

It does though; Im somebody who cares about things in the eyes of others.
Thats why I drive a Lexus. I could have gotten a 2.5RS with an STi motor for the price I paid on my SC; but I wanted a Lexus, and a nice one at that, so I could both go fast, look cool, and appeal to chicks.
Thats reality, people think that way. It's not all about what I like, 'cus sometimes it doesn't turn out so nicely.
I don't even like my fenders that much anymore, though I still don't think they look awful either ...
I want a respectable car though; so Im gonna reach for opinions first.
If I can afford the chop, I might do it. I don't know yet, theres more research to be done.
$10G's for a nice chop, is the same as 10G's for a 2JZGTE swap, if you ask me.
As long as in the end the car gets props, and people say "That dude's got a nice-a** SC"; then Im happy.
Call me shallow, but I like to dress well for the same reason. My cars a part of my style/character.

Good god man, it just keeps on getting worse.
Why would you waste 10K on a chop
Are you really going to drop 20K on your car?
C'mon man get real.

Moosejaw - The designs timeless, that means it's good looking to people no matter the year.
Who care's if it's 20, when it's still befitting ...
Thank you guys
Glass roof would indeed be WICKED.

that being said, i've always been a big fan of hot rods and i think it would be awesome to have a chopped sc, or even a vert sc with the windshield angled back a little more to give more of a streamline look. however in my opinion it would never ever ever be worth spending the $25K+ to make it happen unless i was a millionaire and had stupid amounts of money to just throw away. you might as well just get a new car to impress the ladies in or another car to just mess around with.
happy modding
