I'm gonna chop the top on my Xb but before I go ahead with it I was seein if anyone had already done it so i can cheak out some Pic's. I know Pioneer did it with there ride but the wide body kinda trows the perspective off. If anyone has any tips or tricks that could help me please post them.....thanks ya'll :?

 

I think i saw a white one not too long ago around here let me see if i can find the pictures!!

 

I don't remember where I got them but I know they were around SL on the forums!

anyway here are the ones I saved...



Hope this helps.

 

It looks like a toy

 

That is possibly one of the sexiest things I have ever seen.

 

hmm.. moving hoping you get more replies.

 

what about cutting off a chunk off of the pillars so the roof is closer to the rest of the body? kinda like wat people do with hot rods? :o

 

Yeah I want to see an xB with a true chop that still has a roof. I wish it was just a matter of "chopping a chunk out of the pillars" I would have done mine already. That white one is still pretty tight though nonetheless.

 

Haven't you seen the Five Axis one? that is the only true chop that I am aware of.

Gotta give it up for the white one up there, that takes ***** to do that to a new car. Can't wait to see it finished.

photoshop i did..bu should give ya an idea...i say go for it!

 

Yes PLZ keep the roof on. That white one above just doesnt look right.

 

Many of us have contimplated chopping the top, including myself. Our ideas end at the reality that we cannot get the glass made for the vehicle, specifically the windshield which has a relatively complicated compound curve. I got as close as getting an estimate for new glass, the windshield specifically, and at a cost of $9000.00 not considering the cost of labor, the project got scrapped and I moved on to other more impactful body modifications.

But who knows, you may have endless pocket, good luck to ya ..

 

Wow the PW one is really cool . If it didn't rain i'd do that

 

i actually dig it... OMG! do it! do it!

then add a convetible top if it's possible to hide it...
like the PT

 

I like the white one, but I wanna keep the top on just chopped a few inches. Anther thing I was thinkin about was what if I chopped the top and made it a hard top?

 

hard top will be even better.... hell yea that will definately separate your xB from any other car... nice move keep us posted if you're gonna do it! i like to see it actually happen...

 

That's what I'm talking about!

That's a sick xB!

 

Check out www.newportconvertible.com, they chop everything.

 

The white one is a cop out. Most likely someone who didn't have the skill to perform a true chop. I can't speak to the execution or quality of what they did, but stylistically I think they failed.

As far as $9,000 for new glass, I don't think you thought it all the way through. You need to work smarter, not harder. There are methods that will work just fine and would SIGNIFICANTLY reduce that $9,000 bill. I'm not going to try and explain everything here, but just do some browsing on the internet. You'll find what you need.

And if the wife ever decides she wants a new daily driver, chopping the top on the xB will be the first order of business.

 

Sorry...thought you said CHOMP top.
