hey i was wondering if its possible to take off the top roof for the tl and make it a convertible i know it wont b a power roof but make screw on and off? if someones good at photoshop maybe they could do it cuz i have no idea how to use it thnks in advance

 

Um... not even close to possible.
This car was designed to be a sedan. Remove the top, and it would fall in half.

 

it's possible..u will lose ur doors..unless u decide to weld them shut..and if u roll over..u will die. go ahead and pull a bam magera and take a saw to ur roof...

 

Theres a caddy dealership by me that takes CTSs and makes em convertibles...but it has the b-pillar thing the goes across the top (kinda hard to explain)

pic:


So if it's possible with a CTS, it might be possible with a TL...but it'll prolly look goofy (haven't used that word since about 2nd grade...)

 

If you reinforced the frame under the car, a rag top would be possible, if you had big bucks. Makes more sense to get an NSX. For the price there are many other better convertables, like a corvette, Z4, M3, etc.

 

I got my girlfriend without her top once, it was pretty exciting. Then she slapped me.

 

 

Huh?

 

Bam sawwed off the roof of a lamborghini

 

Barely, he cut a whole. He purposly did that not to jeperdize integrity. It would only cost a few hundred(prolly a few K at a good shop) to put in a new panel.

 

Why in the hell would you want to do this? Go buy a convertible.

 

 

haha thnx for all the replys it would b easier jus to buy a convertible but this would be alot more unique haha guess it wont be happening though thnx anyways guys

 

4 door convertables look goofy.

 

Why would you do this?!

 

If it's done right, then it's sweet. ASC Helios is a gorgeous car.

However, it will cost a buttload of money, and in a high-speed, high-impact accident, the chassis could just ball up. In a car where they can't even offer folding rear seats in order to increase structrual integrity, cutting the top off would officially qualify as the dumbest idea possible.

 

Actually, turning it into a submarine would be the dumbest idea possible, but I get your point ...

 

i assure you, it will be a hell of a lot more expensive than a few thousand. a jeep or some kind of truck or SUV hit a lotus elise at 10 mph in a parking structure..guess how much the damage was..it wasnt 5000..wasnt 10000..wasnt 15000..but 20,000+

here is the link to it.

I just spit my orange juice all over the keyboard. That is just FUGLY!

 

ASC Helios

 

Those are the ugliest conversions I have ever seen! If you're gonna screw around with the roof, change it to a carbon fiber top roof (with supports I'm sure) just like the new M6. That shyt is off the hook!

 

Also West Coast Customs, chopped a 300 too a 2 door, and made it a convertable. It was at a Sema show, this last one in LA, I think I still have the magazine in which it came out. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?...........

 

Did the 300 come out w/ a 2 door version? I think west coast got a 4 door and chopped it up to make it look like that.

 

now that is sick!

 

No, nerver a 300 coupe. WCC made it a 2 door and convertable. Word is Daimler Chrysler is going to release a production convertable sometime soon. It will look similar to the one Pure Adrenaline posted. It will not have a roll bar. It's expected to be around 7 grand more than the sedan, which would bring it to around 45k.

 

I'm sorry, but that 300 - 2 door conversion is GAY. That material they used looks like something Austin Powers would have in his bed room.
The space where the back seats used to be looks like a jacuzzi.

:theghey:

 

I assume you are reffering to the 300C. And I must agree. I don't really like the 300C's but that one is looks pretty good. The interior sucks though.

Wonder why the guy got pulled over.

 

I don't really like the 300C's to begin with, but the conversion looks pretty good. Although a bit too long and unproportional, WCC making it into a 2 door probally helped the look, it would have looked real ugly had it kept the four doors.

The interior sucks though.

 

The WCC car is not a convertible. The top is no longer there. It's an open-top car.



Scott in Houston -- Yeah, suede is really gay, huh? You probably hate the materials in Ferraris, too.

 

I did a little Photoshop work on a TL...I'll upload a pic tonight. Stuck behind a firewall at the moment.

Wicked.

 

Um, it can be gay. In that car, on that color, yes, it looks VERY GAY.

I have suede on the roof of my 911 Turbo. It looks great there.
Ferrari makes it look great too.

That car.... freakin' gay.

I'm glad you feel the need to talk down to me. Did I offend you? That's not your car is it? lol

If you want to talk about Ferraris or other nicer cars, let me know. I'm sure I can educate you.
j/k

 

You kids play nice! Uncle XP is watching.

 

Well...I don't think I did the Acura engineers any favors...



Wicked.

 

Ok its official, I would never ever ever buy a TL as a convertible, no fucking way!

 

Hey Wickedwiz, you live in Issaquah? Dude you must be a high roller ! ! ! Nice town though.

 

High Roller?! that's funny!

Yeah, it's a pretty cool place to live!

Wicked.

BTW, I'm with you...I'll keep the 4 doors and a roof!

 

Issaquah for those that dont know is where all the pro atheletes of washington state live ie Mariners, Sonics and Seahawks, well there and Redmond. But back to the subject, just like just about everyone else said, if you want a convertible you should buy one that was made to be one ! ! !

 

Looks like a Saab.

 

with the Acura CL coming back, it may just look like that if they made it into a convertable.
