That cool an all...if your car isnt a daily driver. It probably leaks and you will lose so much stiffness. If anything get a targa at least with maybe a metal bar on each side from the windsheld to the back. Then you can have your open wind and your stiff ride too.

I really hope they added some support structure to that car or it is going to have some serious issues in the future. For example, take the 1988 Mazda RX-7. The GXL model (all options, non turbo coupe) weighs about 2700 pounds. The Convertable model with similar options weighs over 3000 pounds. The 300 pound weight difference is all in body support structure, to keep the car from collapsing in on itself, twisting, or smashing to bits in an accident.

In my opinion, if it didn't come from the factory with a 'vert or targa top, don't add one.

I have seen a 1G CRX chopped into a convertable, it looked like a VW Cabriolet. I wouldn't drive that car if you paid me.
