Not a huge fan of it in that picture. However, with the components from my car on it, I think it would look nice. Mehdi? Care to photoshop?

Discuss.

Im not really a fan of converts....

I havent been in that many, but i feel like they ALL need the GTspec braces... theres always been a constant lack of rigidity that makes me dislike the convertibles... are they all that way?

hmmm, thats odd, if you search for altima coupe convertible in the search bar, it only brings up a post Greg started about a year and half ago.

never a fan of convertibles, when the top is down it looks good. with the top up it looks awful.

in my opinion, plus repairing the roof material must suck after wear and tear

No they are all not that way. Nowadays - most cars that are offered as convertibles were designed that way from the beginning - such that you don't lose as much rigidity in the convertible version.

As opposed to just lopping off the top and adding some braces. I think you will find the avg. new convertible and certainly a high end convertible will have a lot stiffer body than the older ones did when new.

I seriously was half convinced that could not have possibly been Photoshop - amazing.

I recently read (I appologize for not remember where since my nose is constantly in car mags and vids) that the G37 will also become available in a convertible trim.

I too am not a fan of convertibles. I drove a 645 convertible (it was given to me, so I didn't choose) and I really only liked driving it with the top down, especially since the non-convertibles look kinda bad ***.

I'll have to see it in person to know if I appreciate it or not.
