You can't just chop the roof, put on a clear one, and call it a day.

Yes, but it's not impossible. You would have to reinforce the chassis in the same way the convertible is designed. It's not going to be as rigid as a full metal roof, but it will still be more rigid than the vert. Does anyone know what areas were reinforced for the convertable. I could be wrong, but I though they designed the 370z with the convertible structure in mind, then designed the structure for the coupe.
