I suggest not doing this. the cars structural integridy will be compromised
and the coupe's used thiner metal for the frame,
the T-tops used thicker metal and they are heavier
dumb move I think
+1 :wink:

The quality of the conversion as far as fit and finish may not be an issue. The real issue is that there is no additional bracing added to the frame and chassis of the car. Honda added a considerable amount of additional bracing throughout the entire car to stiffen it more and keep it from flexing. The expense to do this properly would be astronomical and no conversion would equal a factory built NSX-T. I'm sure you know this and accept the fact but come time to sell, many will know the car's rigidity was compromised and a lot more flex in the body will be evident compared to an original NSX-T.
I noticed that def looks good.
post some pics of the sub. how did you get it to mold into the back molding like that?
makes me want a system again. LOL then I am already deaf from all my other cars growing up. lol

Sell it, and buy a 95 and newer NSX.
YUP
Here's the math:
Assuming you own your car outright with a clean and clear title,
you can sell/dump your NSX for $20,000 cash on the market to nearly anyone
Add a $15,000 note from penfed for 60 months @ $269.46/month
Go buy yourself a fine condition 1995 or 1996 for around $35,000 AND
there are several available right now ready for you to drive into the sunset
Done... and no NSX is chopped, hacked, and put on the worthless list
........ The amp is located in the trunk.
A wise decision. Both you and the NSX will be happier. Even though some people on the forum appear rude, they generally have experience and expertise to give worthy advice, which is why people ask these kinds of questions here in the first place.looking into the "for sale" colimn now. 95-96 model will do.

listen to the guy that has one already, all these other fools are just talking from reading numbers and specs.
Listen to the guy that had one already. :biggrin:From having owned a convertible NSX, I can tell you with 100% certainty that, even if they cross braced the bottom of your car for strength, they most certainly did not properly bolster the A pillar. Regardless of how I tried, I could never figure out how to give the A pillar strength without a roll cage. You are at serious risk from both front impacts and roll overs. A roll over is very unlikely, but we don't always control our fates. But what will support your A pillar in a front end collision?
I'm not bagging on you. Remember, I owned a custom convertible NSX for many years! I never had an issue and I really loved the top down motoring, but the risk was real. Furthermore, a custom job will almost never be as well performed as OEM. It is nearly impossible as the engineering effort just isn't there. You will devalue the car to anyone who has enough sense to recognize what you have done to it. Walk away dude, walk away...
DDozier thanks I was gonna paste that too for PBassjo

The extruded aluminum side sills were extensively reinforced - wall thickness of the vertical center web of the 5-sided extrusion went from 2mm to 6mm.
