I just had this idea that sounds like it might be cool. Who likes the sound of a targa SC300? I know the price to rip off and convert the roof would be ridiculously steep, but I like the picture of the aftermath in my head. Who thinks it's worth pursuing or a waste of time?

 

I say do it. just buy the roof sheet metal for a hardtop and modify it...when you are done building it, do the install.roof panel w/out sunroof lists for 567.00 from lexus

 

This is not unlike the various convertible threads we have had, just a little twist to it. Search around and you will find a few threads with lot's of pics of verts to give you ideas.

 

Gross. Id say just vert all the way

 

Modify an existing targa top to fit the SC roof. Sounds like an interesting project and one I would try if I had a shell laying around to play with.

Sorry, but uhm...how is this anywhere like previous convertable threads? And what do convertable pics have to do with a targa conversion?

 

I dunno how right it would look on the car, but it could suprise us all and look great If you're aiming to do something nobody else has done, I say go for it and do it right!

 

i dont think it would look right since our roofs are much longer than the supras...

 

well, uhm... lemme explain it to you. Cutting the roof is cutting the roof. You can get lots of ideas from seeing what has been done already and knowing various ways to seal it up.

 

if you do it..you better post up pics! but i think it could turn out quite nice..just be sure to do things right

 

hey its worth a shot, but like it was stated before the roof is too long. It would not look good. Man I HATE how long the roof is, takes away tons from a sporty look. UGH

 

hey I was photoshoping. Is not the best but hey.




I like the t top

 

I was just thinking the samething today looking at a black supra. See it looks odd when you make the Targa top with the top part of the door metal still part of the door. If you make it like the supra where the Door peice is welded on and you basically have the glass exposed on the top part it would look nice. See how it looks with the windows up you would need to weld the roof too the part of the door and cut and smooth it out if thats done WOULD LOOK SICK something I plan on doing too.

 

Targa will look bad becuase the door has metal around it unlike the supra.

 

And look how much bigger the roof is

 

I didn't know you could buy the hardtop roof.....hmm. If I can't find a hardtop, maybe I'll have to make one.
