FTO Targa Top?
Somebody asked me if the FTO ever same out as a targa top. Having looked around the car and the roof, I reckon it would look f**king awesome as a targa top. Having the roof cut just where the indent in the roof goes straight up the middle and having it come off as two pieces, like a Nissan Exa.
Being different to a sun roof where you have to cut a bit hole in the middle of it, would it be easier to move the structual support of the car to run down the middle?
Just throwing ideas around here guys.

I can recall a UK member was working on a soft top FTO about a year ago.

Re: FTO Targa Top?
i'm not talking about a roadster, something like the nissan exa where you can remove the roof pannels and then put them back on at a later date. would be fkn awesome!

Re: FTO Targa Top?
short answer is no, they have never come out with a targa top. Never seen one done either...
would look awful in my opinion, based on the aero top supra...

Re: FTO Targa Top?
TBH, I had thought about......... For about 30 seconds until I remembered how much of a pain in the ass it was to remove those f**ken things on the exa I owned.
