Not unless you structurally brace the thing like ASC did. Here's a thread on targa tops in the 7th gen:
http://www.everythingcelica.com/ubbthreads...#Post1870109371 Basically what it comes down to is, modifying your unibody car is STUPID and EXPENSIVE and DANGEROUS. That civic gets into an accident, everyone inside is dead. and on that note, bracing is like ASC did won't even help that much. Don't forget coom, when the covertible top is up, it DOES act as a brace because it completes the frame. When it's not up, it's down, and there's bracing in trunk for it. A targa top would be like driving all around town with the covertible top half up. This post has been edited by shid: Jul 13, 2004 - 1:22 PM |
