I don't know if it is possible, but could you modify an Insight to become a convertable, just a question, because I think it would be totally awesome. The Insight reminds me of a Toyota MR2, which is a convertable and that is a nice looking car, but i'm looking for a hybrid and there isn't a convertable in the market. So I was thinking that it might be possible to modify the Insight

With enough money, anything is possible.

In reality, I don't think it would be reasonable, for many reasons.

Some (or at least one) have installed a sunroof.

Hi Evan-

Welcome! I am afraid I agree with Holicow. I suspect that the aluminum body/chassis would have to be stiffened up significantly to prevent it from buckling like a soda can the first time you hit a big bump or dip. It is an interesting thought though.

Hmm, why didn't I think of that? Though instead of a convertible, I'd much rather turn it into a cabriolet. Sounds expensive though since you'd need the frame strengthened a bunch.
