Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like regardless of you you do it, you're gonna have to get some custom glass done, because if you section the roof and lean the hatch and windshield, you've still changed the geometry of your side windows, and if you cut and lower the whole roof, you've changed the geometry of the whole thing. But it would definitely be one of the most unique celis on the road. If you've got the $$$$ and you don't mind spending it, I'd say go for it. You'd have a show winner for sure when you're done.

if you are going through all this work, go lexan forget glass, besides the front winshield

give me a pair of scisors, some white school glue, newspaper, and tape and i could do it
