Ive seen pics of a red NSX convertible before and it looked pretty good. Never seen a CL though. I dont think it would be worth it... places usually charge >$10K to do the conversion and our cars just arent worth it IMHO. Would be pretty sweet though!

no, the amount of structural support needed once the roof is cut would add up to more than the roof itself

it doesn't look like it has one, the edges are all shaved smooth, where would the top connect? Hope it doesn't rain.

one time we were driving, and we ran over something. my cousin said we ran over an armadillo. . . .what the fuck is an armadillo?!? yeah i guess i'm just use to my city life with traffic and four lane highways.

That looks like a pure roadster with not even a soft-top. I would shave the windshield though...it seems a bit tall in that configuration.

I guess in a country boy now all we have in Avon Park are oranges, cows and Snow birds (old people that run from the cold). Fuck, they are worst that lovebugs. Dont even get me started on them

There is a good chance that the accord isnt finished yet... hence it is still in primer and has no door panels. True it doesnt look like it has a top right now, but maybe there will be later... Does look pretty badass though!
