That's sick. Does the company make your car into a convertible or do they only design them for manufacturers??

I almost hate to look into how much that would cost.

Also I wonder if its even possible on hybrid cars with the battery pack behind the seats. Unless of course you don't mind no trunk space for a cloth top.

They chop your car for you. It takes 3-4 months for a four-door (including design). Website doesn't give conversion prices. But they chop Rolls Royces for the Saudi Royal Family if that tells you anything.

That would be pretty cool to be the only HCH convertible. I wonder how that effects the FE tho.

unfortunately, with a convertible typically comes a huge increase in weight... sorta defeats the purpose.

Is that photo even real? I already think the 7th gen coupes look too long, the convertible just makes it worse.
