Never in a million years would I consider doing this.

There is no reason to look at the LT2 or LT6, these are not pretty engines.

Because he wants to see his motor. Best of both worlds, the awesome convertible and the "see the motor" of the coupe. Looking forward to the after pictures.

I'm interested in what this is about. I don't see any reason to replace a window with a window.
Oh wait, it's an HTC. OK, I understand. Would never do it but I see what you're doing. Nuggin Futz.

Correction: because he has a desire to see a plastic engine cover. The actual motor won't be visible.
