Convertable Civic?
I'm curious if anyone has moded their civic to be a convertable?

It seems like a very interesting idea, and I've mocked some photos of my civic up to see what it would look like.

What do you guys think? I added my 3rd Gen Pontiac Rims and wheels to it for a different look.

Here is the normal color:








This is my favorite color so far in the convertable option.

It's a good photoshop, but a convertable civic would look like shi*t IMO.

How about this job? I'm new to modding Hondas. I've been focusing primarily on my 3rd Gen TA.

Do you really think it looks like a Metro? That's unfortunate.

Those chops are awesome man! The rims on the first set of chops look like the rims that was used in the Knight Rider series on K.I.T.T.

They are. They are from my replica.



Since this is a Honda Forum, I'll leave the other images of my replica to my site.

I always wondered what a tanga top would look like in our cars. Kinda like in the del sols and supras. I got a sunroof so that would make it a little easier.

haha. Those look sweet. Although that burnt orange one makes me wonder, (is there a top)? Or is that thing always at risk of unfortunate weather?

the roof of the coupe is too long. A droptop would have to fold in like 8 places, or the back seats would have to be sacrificed

Maybe a removable hardtop would be better i think.

I see. I wonder who does these, or if they are all home jobs (custom).
