My edit of an 8

Would be nice to see.

 

You've seen this, right?

 

I like either one! Big convertible fan here.....

 

eh... I think it looks like total ***, and doesnt flow at all with the car.

But hey, im a coupe guy anyways

 

^ I agree, leave the roof off for the MX-5.

The rex ends up looking like a 350

 

no convertible please.

 

Nasty, RX-8 doesn't look good as a convertible. Perhaps the strongest design feature is the arcing roofline which ties all the body lines together.

Good photochop though...

 

The 8 looks to bubbly as a convertible....besides why would mazda ruin their high rollover rating? Last time I checked alot of stealerships use that as a major means for promoting the car.....

However I think that with the right kit and wing a convertible 8 could look ok....Ings+1 conv. anybody?

 

uhh,... naw

 

I've always thought most coupes look better than their convertible counterparts!

i've read in previous threads that the roof is also a key structural point in the RX8's body and plays a big role in the rigidity/handling department. a convertible would lose that, and handling is our cars main quality.

 

^ witht he right design the rx8 CAN be a very good handling convertable. youre going to need much more support and reinforcements. just look at the old rx7 FC verts. they were heavier than the normal coupe versions because of the supports added tot he body. but yes its correct, i doupt you would even be able to close the door within a week of sawing off the top because of body warping... unless you somehow add costly supports all over the body. someone should try turning their 8 into a targa top.

 

How about this one?

 

What, now u gonna get rid of the suicides too?! Granted the car looks good because of the inherent design of the car, but it looks like a big downgrade. Plus where's the top gonna go? lol our trunks r small as it is and u kno it'll cut into the space.

Again my opinion is biased cause im a coupe guy. I'm sure plenty of people would appreciate the extra head room in the back and convertibleness lol
Nice pic-shoppin 4 sure tho.
