well. first you'd need to cut the top of the car off, then you'd basically have to re-fabricate the whole roof of the car with a T-top b/c of the sunroof, get it welded onto the frame, get the whole car painted, as well as design the removable ttop and have them custom made. basically, you're looking at least, imo, 10,000 dollars worth of work. if not alot more.

better off actually buying an nsx...

Don't forget you'll need to remove the top part of the door frames and have that fabricated into the removable roof part. Hey, if you have the cash, nothing is impossible. Of course, I'd rather buy a house with what you will spend for such a thing, but that's your perogotive.

$3000? For what you want done? Man... unless you or someone in your immediate family is a master welder, and someone else does body work and painting, then the cost will be at LEAST $10,000. $3000 would be parts alone, I'd bet. Almost all the cost would be the incredible labor and time it would take to undertake the task...not to mention the car afterword would handle terribly.

have you thought about the structure of the car and what you will do to it? handling and saftey will be a huge issue. It was not in the plan to make t-top when honda designed the car, and I'm sure they werent thinking american tuners would alter it.
