Re: chop top

the roofs are already low enough in these vehicles, with my helmet on, I can rub the headliner easily, not sure how much lower you can really go. Old vehicles had 6-12 inches of room above their heads, which is why you could chop them easily and still fit.

Re: chop top

Thats why you lean the seat back so that you can't see road 20ft in front of your car haha. He's right though, the roof on these cars is already pretty low. However, it might look pretty slick and would definitely be a car someone takes two looks at.
