Don't do it. You'll completely compromise the structural integrity of your car. (And I've never seen it done without being a total hack-job.)

if you go to dsmtuners and do a search for targa youll find your answer there. yes the rigidity of the car will be compromised those that have done it braced up the bottom and put a cage in. 2gs look pretty hot with a targa but its a shit load of work.

IIRC, That red Talon has had continual leaks from the top. So in the end (If you want to do it right.) You'll be dumping at least $3000-5000 on a cage/braces/top. Not worth it, IMO.

Yes, you're completely correct. (Except for your spelling ) But you're still looking at spending $3000+ to have someone do it. You could build a race engine for that kind of money. But, hey, to each their own. It is your money, and if you want to do it I say go for it. I'm just from the school of thought that says "Go > Show"
