With enough money and the right people is it possible to turn the G37 coupe into a hard top convertible with out any problems with aerodynamics and without losing any features

I believe Infiniti is doing this and will release the retractable hardtop in a year or two.

I talked to someone from Nissan and they said they haven't decided on the convertible yet.

So I figure if they haven't decide yet we won't see it in the '09 model

For that matter you could do it yourself with a good can opener and hack saw.

But because of the loss of frame structure, real convertibles need a beefed up frame in order to prevent flexing and all the problems that would cause. This is a major factor that adds to its cost. So I would never give credibility to a shop that would chop up your car for you unless they have the capability to stiffen the remaining frame, which is unlikely.
