you are half right. There's an sc300 here that was a production test for convertable but didnt make it to production due to high cost. A daughter of an exotic car dealer owns it. I looked at it and its OEM, no cutting.when the top is down everything hides perfect, the 1/4 windows roll down and all.

atleast 10k is not too far fetched

unless you are EXTREMELY Passionate about this car, imo i wouldn't do it
like someone said before, you're better off getting another car that comes as a convertible

but then again

i personally dislike the look of convertables
