i wouldn't count on it, but i would like to think the structural integrity of the car would be greatly compromised since the it was not designed that way.

ive seen a t top accord before at a nopi show. looked really nice, and seemed very nicely done, but all professionally by a company who was building the show car. i dont know about doing it yourself though, maybe an ostrich learned to fly and dropped a giant egg on the roof and made a hole, so he just chopped out the rest.

That thing should be super twisty without the roof intact, and I'm assuming the guy didn't X-brace the chassis or put in a solid cage..
del Sols have a flexing problem with the top off, and they were designed with the targa, so I can just imagine what that hacked up neon feels like..
I can't think of a better thing to do with a neon than cut it up.. =)
