Fit chop-top?
Has anyone given thoughts to a chopped roof GD3? I think it would look a lot more aggressive and sport car like. Inspired by the chop-top subaru wrx car from a autobody shop in japan:

One thing I like about the Fit the great all around visibility, most of the cars I test drove have all gone to the chopped look with little 3" high windows by the time it gets to the back of the car. For some of them I sat in the first thing I noticed was I only had limited side visibility with no rear visibility (even through the rear view mirror because the back window was so slanted and chopped it was practically useless). So I got out and told the dealer they have a shitty design for visibility and went elsewhere to look.
I use my mirrors but I also like the option to do shoulder checks as well, it is one thing I don't like to comprimise on. This is one case where Function > Style IMO.
Becides that, the cost involved in doing it nicely would be retarded and it would screw up your curtain air bags.
