This was a car that needed that. The roof line of this vehicle needs to be dropped. Thats actually what I would do If I owned one of these.

on that first pic kinda looks like the roof line from a 2nd gen camaro. The A piller looks a little higher. Would like to see it with it lower than the back

What i was told, is instead of choping the whole top, you cut the top, and jsut lean the winsheild back, so its lower, but doesnt mess too much up. Just what i heard, no clue if it would work...
