extra weight doesnt matter with hover jets.... im sure they allow you to adjust the weight/ride-height of the vehicle on the ground as well as lifting it off
the ground...... think range rover or cayenne suspension on super-steroids

I've got to call BS here. Everyone knows that the flux capacitor is used for time travel and has nothing to do with hover jets.

Unless you use the Flux Capacitor to obtian the jets from the future.

are you sure you aren't mistaking the 'i know someone here has done this before' with the coupe concept that has the panoramic roof?

I'm sure it could be done. I can't recall the year, but wasn't it the USDM Skyline (Plymouth - '50s or '60s?) that sported a green-tinted glass roof that covered about half the top? I know that car had a lot of flex. Picking the right material and thickness would be key.

Personally, I waited several months just to get my '05 6MT without a sunroof, so this idea only holds a minor show-car interest for me. I wouldn't mind seeing it done, but definately not on my car.

i didn't realize that he was also getting the hover jets. in that case he should also re-do the floor as well. that way when he hovers over water he gets a great view. sorry for the mis-understanding. don't get the domestic jets either... i hear they've got some problems.

best model IMO is the LeviT8 0-Newton.... comes with 180 degree jet rotation (lets car hover/drive upside down... fighter jet mode)

you have to be insane to want to change your whole roof bc a bolt scratched it. Might as well just sell the car and get a new one every time it gets scratched.

remember, if you do get the flux capacitor, make sure it has the mr. garbage attachment. getting plutonium these days is still a bitch.

i didnt want to change my roof because i got hit by a bolt..... the bolt hitting my roof just sparked my interest in looking into other roofs being that before the bolt ever hit my roof i wondered what else could substitute the steel, do they have a carbon roof like that of the M6 on the market for the g?
