Would not be hard. From that pic, it looks like all they did was shave the rear door + weld it shut. So they smoothed it out & painted. The rear side window, still has the looks of the sedan one. So thats a sedan, with the rear doors welded shut. So you could do that to a xB if you wanted to. I dont see the point though. I do like the looks of this evo & the paint I even like. :clap:

Edit: Seems to be a great deal of work they did. Took a look at the site for more info. I dont think you would want to chop more then 2" from the xB, because your wheel base becomes shorter = worse ride. Over all, the best thing I could see going on for a xB, is just chopping the top down about 2-4" or so. That would save you a little weight, maybe like 50LBS top. All the windows would need to be cut to fit & the weight savings from the small amounts of metal taken from the side & hatch of the xB.

I was talking about a true xB Coupe not shaving the handles and welding the doors shut.

like taking off that door and NOT re-using it, fabbing up sheetmetal to compensate for the door, custom glass to make a one=piece rear side window (x2 for the other side), shortening the wheelbase 5 inches, doing major cutting and welding, re-doing (if necessary) the brake/fuel/electrical lines, re-doing the interior, making sure everything lines up perfectly... then we have the asthetic choice of either leaving the front two doors as-is, or extending them so it looks more proportional to the new body. now THATS probably a "true" xb-coupe in my definition.
