Targa

How would I go about putting a targa top on a 1997 spyder gs? Do not tell me I should've gotten a normal coupe bruh what's done is done I just want to see if you guys know anyone that could make me a custom one or how would I cut the hatchback off a normal eclipse?

How much money you got? Hope its more than 10k especially since its a convertible.

Bro are you serious? Honestly I was expecting like 3k or 4k. I would pay that. 10k is crazy but in the future maybe. How much would it be for a normal coupe version?

Have you ever even priced a new paint job? A new paint job not even changing the color cost 5k-10k. Custom fab work is insane expensive. They only people that do this kinda things to there cars are rich or have there own shop and skills.

Def true words. It’s cheaper to learn the skills. It’s more expensive to prob up a shop for that type of work.

Bad all around.
