I don't think so, but I always thought that would be pretty sick.

3SGTE, GT-FOUR front end conversion, JDM front/rear lips and sideskirts. AWESOME >>

watch out for mad chassis flex

Yeah, the lack of an A-frame is kinda bothering me, especially since these cars weren't designed as convertibles (all the drop tops were made here in the US, they're chop top jobs). But, so far it hasn't really been that bad. With a front brace, and maybe a custom one in the trunk...

with all that new power id be skeptical that the chassis could hold up to the rigorus demands even with better bracing...

As well as trying to find a rear strut brace. I mean go all out and try and make your chassis mad stiff to control the flex. would be wicked cool though!!!

The torsion forces that cause convertibles to flex will be minimum in this case because we are not dealing with a longitudially mounted RWD power train. I think the amount of flex due to engine power will be slight.
