Wow excellent! it looks great and exactly what I was looking for.

I have no intention of putting this thing in myself, in fact I was hoping it was something I could have the dealer install before I took delivery.

What particular brand is the roof on the 2010? Do you know Retro?

Thanks again!!! Glad to know it can be done!

Considdered it but I want to be able to have a usuable back seat and trunk... doesn't the convertible eat up too much into that? Plus I plan on keeping my S2000 so that should satisfy my need for a drop top

The seats will be the same size. As far as the trunk size, eh...I can put pretty much anything I want in my trunk. I mean, it's not going to be as big as say...an avalon, but I can put a fair amount of stuff in it.

I think the difference between a coupe trunk and a convertible trunk might be that the coupe trunk is like 30% bigger? (don't quote me on that, just eyeballing)

For either coupe or convertible (i forgot to check this when i looked at a 2010 at the local dealer) - does the back seat fold down for more storage?

Not the convertible, at least in my '08. Maybe they changed the design for '10?

It's hard to put a sunroof kit in these curved roofs. There are binding issues. Would I cut a hole in my roof? No, I think that's a crazy idea. Order the glass roof or get a vert.

Those cut-ins that slide out on top look like a hack job. If it doesn't slide into the roof... (which they won't), I wouldn't bother. They look way too cheap.
