    It would be the best way to go as the two cars are very similarly shaped.
    I've completely removed the soft top stuff from my car, so I'd like a full top (with glass) like that for wet days but then have everything be smooth and closed off if the top was off.

    That would be awesome. I may have emailed them about it before and I think the answer was along the lines of "not enough demand for an outdated chassis" or something like that.

    Sorry, but I just think this is a really bad idea. If I wanted a coupe, I would sell the sell the vert and buy a coupe. I know there is the challenge involved, but what you have in the end? A vert converted to a coupe, that if done correctly, looks like a factory coupe. In the end, how is that being different? Now making a one off hard top for the vert, that would stand out in a car show.

    In case anyone is still wondering, I guess Smoothline finally got enough interest:
