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:

can anyone photoshop a chop-top gd3? any thoughts?

Thought of it, But then the window work is too insane. I imagine it looking great, but will lose all the great head room.

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.

thats exactly and probably the most thing i hated about the prius, i like looking through the rear window, and the prius, ugh its not even tall or wide. and i hate slanted/angled rear winodws. i mean yeah the fit's is angled, but not that far off from 90 degrees.

the doors are too tall, therefore it looks pretty silly... might be better if the fit would ever be a 2 door like the civic SI
