well i might give it a topless 'touch' if i have a 2nd daily driver... i'm sure there is a way of getting it engineered with a roll cage or something... it'd look very schmick IMO.... :D

as for first mods, well.......... why not start a new topic eh? ;)

back on the topic of topless ftos, i was looking at ftos like 4 years ago, and i wasthinking I WANT ONE !, and i want to be the first to turn it into a convertable or atleast a targa roof, but anyways seems like there aremany with this dream, and it is basicly not possible, the shell would have to be completly re done. I watched a doco on how convertables are different, and aparently that roof above out heads (as thin and flimsy it looks) actually does morethen cover use from the rain. Stops the chassis from bending and stops the front window from flying into our front faces (at the huge g's we pull on take offs). So I guess a topless fto will have to stay a dream for all of us :(

Name: Kirb
FTO: 1996 GPX, SILVER/GREY
LOCATION: FTP!
MODS: no engine mods. veilside front n side, spotlights, undercar neons, sub n amp, ugly aftermarket wheels.


i dunno what to do with the fto now, car modding busts ballz n costs a lot. i'll try to atleast get new rims and change the spoiler and then get a new exhaust. i feel like a copycat when i see another fto, same colour, same bodykit (veilside front and side) and stock spoiler and stock exhaust...
i dont wanna be a copycat! please help me mod my car! im sick of seeing copycat ftos with the same bodykit and look exactly like mine!!!


lol...
but i just love it when i drive down chinatown at nite, n everyone just STARES at my car, and i love it even more when ppl stop walking n just STARE even longer when i turn the undercar neons on :D

oh and, FTP!
