Hey guys it's the only functioning water proof removable top that I know of. Trading the car in getting a gtr

What's included 350z convertible frame modified, roll bar mounting hoop for hatch, latch assembly, coupe rear quarter glass, coupe side windows, pillar assembly. All for 1500 obo or trade for good condition convertible.

What you need to provide, coupe hatch, coupe weather stripping, and custom trim to fill hole in quater panel, I used carbon fiber panel bonded. can be filled by a body shop as well.

I have a hatch with glass for $200 obo

It's actually carbon fiber roof and pillars From a coupe it's covered with canvas from the winter here in nj plus where the pillars meet the roof I used epoxy resin and it turned Brown.

Just the carbon roof and pillars were 1500 bucks plus all the fab time for the roll bar and latches. Nothing gets cut its a convertible to begin with.

I swear you guys are all idiots. He did not cut the roof off his coupe. Because this is allready a 350z roadster ! He fabricated the entire hatch and roof to fit onto a roadster. Awesome idea. Obviously the finish could be cleaner but , I Would love to see a company make this I would Definitely buy one

Oh no we understand exactly how he did this abomination. We know it's for a convertible but that doesn't change the fact that not one single piece fits correctly or looks even close to professional.

There is also the issue of this not being the OP's first time trying to sell the Z community this sort of ****.
