The question is... photoshopped or not?

they are both real....it isnt t-tops, its a targa top (this was in a different thread).
The last pic with the fmic was in a magazine (dont remember what one) I remember reading the article.

You better believe that dre99gsx's car is "real". Feel free to visit his website: http://www.twingles.com/ideck/

Second one, probably.

yeah i want to do a targa top eclipse so bad.. but mines got the sunroof so not such a good idea.. looks sweet i think.. i was thinking though wouldnt it be easier to get a spyder and put the back end of a coupe back on it?

Dre's car also did 503 whp on pump gas. In his gallery on Tooners there is a scan of the dyno chart if anyone is interested.

the targa top on the eclipse looks awesome. Anyone know how much that costs?
Looks cool as hell though

nobody makes a kit for it.. so a targa conversion is totally custom.. no clue on price but unless your a diy guy handy with a saw zaw and one heck of a fabricator too im sure its up there to have done...

oh i have no intention of goin new my car with a saw....actually i dont really drive the eclipse anymore. I would rather drive the ram, i think im gettin rid of the rs and hopefully get a GST/GSX next summer. But thats if everything goes right....which im 99% sure it wont lol

Theres a local guy here thats got a rs in orange with a custom targa top his has a full cage too. He said the body would flex to much without it. the bottom one i saw on ebay for sale a while ago it runs like 10's definately not photoshoped

both real....the gray gsx was going on for sale on ebay and was put on the cover of sport compact car...if anyone remembers.

yeah i was counting on having to put a roll cage in cause of chasis flex.. iv seen what cutting the roof supports can do the a car.. my cousin has a convertable integra but thats another story.. thats why i was wonering if you could reuild the back half of the hatch section on a spyder since there already stiffined in the chasis department.. either way its sweet.. i wonder why they never released a targ top 2g like they did the 1g's in europe?
