Convertible to Hard Top conversion

Boo777 SG

Does Singapore allow converibles to be converted to hard top coupes?? Just asking for info cos I kinda like the Toyota MR-S, small, light, very balanced, MR drivetrain, just enuff HP to drive in Singapore expressways, but doesn't like convertibles(no offences to convertible lovers). Might buy it in the future. If cannot be converted/modded to hard top coupes, I won't be buying it.

Cheerz!! Itz Tiger Time!!

can convert. just need to spend money. TRD and some other aftermarket brands produces hard tops for the MRS which are detachable. but be warned that it'll cost you, specially if you go for the c/f kind.

Pardon my ignorance but... wats "c/f" ?? Actually when 1 can afford and keep a MR-S, one can afford to do those conversions, the only problem is whether itz legal in Singapore or not. Was thinking of getting a GTR, can't release itz full potential in Singapore, so no point. So I chose the MR-S for practical reasons.

c/f = carbon fibre. i do not think there's a legal question here if the size of the hood does not exceed that of the soft top when its up. wah, you thinkin of buying GTR?! muz be damn rich lor. anyways, i know a c/f hard top for the s2k from mugen already costs a whopping 3k plus.... enough to cover insurance, radio and road tax for one year so.... i dunno. maybe you ARE filthy rich.
