Project: Drop Top
Sunday, August 16, 2009 4:31 PM
well i got this crazy idea to wanna make my car a drop top. i no i no its a big deal to make a 2dr coupe into a vert. so i kept thinking and thinking and came up with the next best thing!























well thats right i bout Paul's vert! So heres my crazy plan change everything over from my 05 to the 99. bodykit, hood, trunk, interior, blower, rims, airride etc. will be switched. let me know what u guys think of this lil project haha. heres some pix of the 99 and 05 side by side.

blue ones a 5spd. vert is an auto. but might end up making it a 5spd as well. oh and the vert will eventually be blue as well haha

Nice project man, Im not sure if I would go through with the trouble but I'm sure it will turn out sweet

Why not just chop up the blue one, save time and money maybe? But whats the fun in that right? hahaa

haha ya. well i thought it would be way more trouble to make mine a vert. especially with a top and all. way too much money. i dont want a roadster. i will drive this thing even in the rain lol.

man i dont know... that just seems like a TON of work just for the vert aspect. i dont know much about cav verts but is it power? if not is there a way to make yours a vert but find a way to set it up to be powered? i mean your talking tons of paint. and probably some body work. and if its worth it to you go for it... id be on the fence for sure...

ya i know its gonna b alot of work. but its all about being more of a show car and stuff. doing something different and something noone has done. and yes it is all power. the blue one is a 1sv no options so the vert is kinda an upgrade lol

Oh. My. God. Thats going to be the sexiest vert ever if you go through with it! If not, I'd say throw on your extra extreme tuner kit, nice suspension and wheels and some fresh paint and call it a day... either way, best of luck with it!

I drove it

Cant imagine it would be any faster, being that it's heavier and the chassis is much softer.

But an extreme tuner kit on a vert would be awesome.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

I love your car so much but i think if you painted the vert i would love it. I think you will regret doing everything if you don't do a 5 speed swap tbh... but i am digging your plans over all.

idk i say leave the 05 the way it is its already sexy and good to go. go out and get stuff for the vert and make it look just as good as the 05
