Another targa top on ebay, but no cage!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Eagle...66232722QQrdZ1

I thougt only Andre had his eclipse targa converted, apparently not so. The rims are ugly as SIN, as is the spoiler, but the chop top looks nice. One thing though...I dont see a supporting brace or cage! Shouldnt the the thing flex like a tootsie roll?

I only see a few problems with it...n/a, rims, and if you didn't notice it still has the stock spoiler...terrible.

I give credit for the chop, but doesn't seem to have any support. The owner right now should be beaten with a metal bat for those rims and wing.

It took me forever to read the description on that thing, he obviously put a lot of time into it.

That car is a disgrace to DSM's everywhere. I'm all for the targa top, but damn it's hard to look at that car for more than a few seconds without wanting to rip the wing off and slap on some respectable wheels.

You said the rims were ugly as sin, but you weren't kidding. I feel blinded. I agree that the car should be caged for flex, but also for safety. It would be bad if the car flipped. Even if you did live, I wouldn't blame the paramedics for not wanting to go near those rims. Like Kryptonite.

Oh yeah, GLWS

LMAO! I've seen those two spokes around town, but usually on Hondas, but wow, I mean, I've never ever seen rims uglier than those.

GLWS? Whats that?

Re: Another targa top on ebay, but no cage!

I actually liked the car with the exception on the rims. I hate those rims. There is a guy running around here with them on his 3G Eclipse and everytime I see them I just want to walk up to him, smack him and stand there shaking my head asking why?????

Re: Another targa top on ebay, but no cage!

Aside from the obvious poor choices in body kits, rims and spoilers, the targa top looks awesome. It makes it look like a Supra a little bit. I'd love to do that to my car but I'm gonna take a nap instead.
