AWD Advance convertible!!!
So today on my way down to my 4th of July block party, I was cruising down I-5. I thought I saw a drop top 4G TL but couldn't clearly tell. I told my wife but told her I needed to get closer. Sure enough, it was a 4G SH AWD Advance convertible!!! It was the maroon color with tan or gold racing stripes like the old Dodge Viper. My mouth literally dropped. This had to be custom but it was actually a really clean job. Looked OEM. First time I believe I've seen a 4 door convertible. Enough talking, here's the proof. Wife took the shots so they weren't the best but will do. I had my camera too!

but seriously
you would think someone that has the money to do a conversion would just invest in a actual convertible..

NCE(Newport Convertible Engineering) does this conversion.
To be frank, I never understood the allure or the reasoning, for that matter, behind the aftermarket conversion of 4-door sedans to convertibles, but I guess each to his own taste.
While we're on the subject of taste (or the lack thereof…), the drop-top specialists over at Newport Convertible Engineering (NEC) from Placentia, California, have sharpened their scalpels on the roof of an Acura TL sedan turning it into a 4-door cabriolet with a center roll-bar to keep things in place. The gold stripes running down the middle are the cherry icing to this strangely flavored cake.
Looking at NEC's other creations, I found a couple new proposals for roofless versions of Hyundai's Equus luxury sedan and the Aston Martin Rapide sports saloon, renders of which can be found right below the break.

With the top closed it looks like a Cadillac with a soft top. I was in shock. Wish I was in the TL to stunt on him hahaha. Props for having a rare conversion but not my taste. The center brake light just looks cheap.
Why the racing stripes!?
Thanks for educating us Justnspace.
