Short Max

Thanks for the correction soonerfan I haven't really payed attention to how 2 door cars looked.
I think the Max is too big to make into a 2 door or convertable. It doesn't have that tiny sports car feel to it.

The main problem is.....the maxima's frame/body are NOT very stiff at all...in fact the subframe (unibody construction) is much like a wet noodle. Take away the roof, and you lose a HUGE proportion of the structural support....the frame would flext SO much that it would probably bend...then your doors, hood, trunk, etc...would start fitting poorly, handling would be atrocious....etc
you get the picture....
convertible cars need substantial structural reinforcemnt of the lower body, since they do not have the roof, which provides much of the structural rigidity in hardtop cars....
that, and it would look TERRIBLE!

i think a chop top maxima would be absolutely killer paired with some suicide rear doors. i would love to do the work, but dont have the heart to chop up a brand new (almost) vehicle. im still torn on whether or not i even want to change my paint- its just too dam nice the way it is.

I like how Honda converted the the last generation 4 door accord into a two door. I always thought that looked very slick compared to other companies doing that, i.e. neon, grand am, grand prix. Too bad the maxima doesnt have those lines.

if u guys wanted a 2 door max why not get a 350z or maybe even a skyline. the max is known for its 4 doors and performance , which it does kick alot of 2 dr cars asses. so u can kick some dudes butt in his mustang gt and still have more room for his girlfriend n her friends when they jump outta his car and into to yours fool!
