Targa VX

[WormGod]

Jesus no! I would never massacre my VX for that look! Photoshop allows you to dream of the unthinkable though.

Gary's Photoshop mod is outstandingly realistic. It faked me out; I thought it was an actual mod. Though I prefer an intact roof structure, I think the Targa VX looks cool.

Looks nice but the shape in my opinion would look even more like an Amigo.

Actually I really dig that look!

I dig it, except for the rear end work!! I own a blck VX here in St. Louis. Constantly getting the looks and comments What is that, an 05 what!?!? (debadged) Everytime I look at purchasing a new vehi ie. 05 Pathfinder, I realize I just cannot part w my Sotmobile.

It does look like a amigo but im not talking bout cutting the back off just the front, but with no T tops. I was gonna do it but my extra targa money when towards a down payment on and 2005 Yamaha 450YFZ Quad

I believe one reason why you do not see t-tops and targas on SUVs (well, vehicles with that full cab and rear space), is because at higher speeds, that rear will become such an intense vacuum that passengers in the rear, and eventually the front as speed increases, will be enveloped into an intense "walloping" sound. Many may get that with just having a removable or retractable sunroof, but it wouldnt be as bad as an actual removable cab roof space. I installed an oversized sunroof on my Amigo some years back and I couldnt take out the sunroof unless the rear soft top was removed. That vacuum and compression in the rear got so bad at higher speeds that the soft top was actually tearing at the connection pins. It basically acted as an umbrella or a parachute. I think auto designers keep this in mind when creating SUVs cause even with no removable rear like the AMigo, that vaccuum/compression still exists. I don't how this may affect your driving performance or car stability, but I know that having that sound of air concussion blown into your ears 5 times a second sucked, heh.

Not only does that photoshop job look kick arse... I LOVE the look! If I had more than one VX, I'd SERIOUSLY consider doing it... oh wait, I DO have more than one VX... hmmm... finish motor swap, get the cut-off wheel out and go to town... btw, I HAVE done something rash like that before... chopped the top (ala targa style) off of my '69 Grand Prix... looked awsome... wish I still had the pictures... great... here I go again... thinking of stuff to do before I finish one project! DAMN YOU!

Later!
