i know some people are going to think i'm a load of it, but on my way to work today, i saw a convertible civic. it was a 94 or 95 ex coupe, in black with what looked like the top off a new VW cabrio. i had to do a double take, but i'm 100% positive it was a convertible civic. i think it might look alright with the top down, but when it was up, it was a load of laughs that kept me going through the day.

yeah, theres a 4th gen civic in the parking lot here at PSU that, while im not positive it's a convert, i am sure that it has a soft top... hmmmm

hmmm are car might look good as a targa top but not as a cabrio-inspired convertible...im all for targa tops though. but hey maybe that softop thing will look good after a few of these!

yeah, this Civic with the soft-top is a 4dr too... i think it'd take a lot more than just a few [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG] to look good[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

DUMB question... but while we're on the subject... would a targa top be possible with the Civic?? I can see why it wouldnt be cause of the door frame, but doesn't hurt to ask... lata

you would probably have to get some custom doors or have a really retarted looking top for a targa to actually work. i think it might look... ok, but still wouldn't go for it with my car. imo, if the car doesn't come as a convert.. it wasn't ment to be a convert.

Cost to much to chop the top and make convertable.......... but if i had the money
i would do it

BlueIce2001

i wouldn't put it pass someone to do that
i have actually seen a damn chop top cargo van!!!!!!!!

i was actually talking to my friend who is really into cars the other day and i forget how it came up but i said i thought a convertible 7th gen. civic would be sweet. but a 4-door chop-top? what in the world...

I've never seen that before. I thought you were talking about the del sol or something... (those a kew... I want one!) But see if you can get your hands on a camera! I have not seen a convertable 4th gen.

And if our 7th gens were converables? I dunno... I think the car's kinda bulky. (I'm thinking coupe of course!) I can't imagine it, sorry. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

honestly, that kid MAY have left after last semester cause i dont recall seeing it lately... but i will def keep my eye's open... anyways, so u can make a visual, it's a grey 4dr., possibly 90ish, with a black cloth roof and metal trim

Sorry to this owner, but this civic =[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

i'm with you man, that sounds butt ugly for a civic. but the one i saw was a black coupe with a black top, looked pretty good, but too much like the VW cabrio. i still wouldn't go for it.

UPDATE: The soft-top civic is still amung us, haha... I saw it today so that kid is still here this semester and I'll try to get a pic and post it on this forum sometime![IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] lata all

I've seen an Accord Convertible...looked real nice

lol a rag top civic... sounds kinda cool. but i would be concerned with the amount of flex the frame is gonna have if the roof was taken off. its like taking the lid off a shoe box, when it off the box has a greater tendancy to torque and flex around. may look cool on a civic but might be a pain in the *** in the long run... i say save up and buy a s2k[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

for those worried about cost to take top off, i will do it for free, just crash and we will use our hearst tool to cut it off for you, no charge...

Can somebody with some PS talent do a photoshop of what a 7th gen Civic convertible might look like. You've got me all curious.
