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.

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...
