my thinking was to install some speedster humps, get a mold taken, and fab a fiberglass panel to replace the clamshell and rear trunk lid.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you are fond of the Spyder and thinking about swapping over the top and doors this might help .

POST 2Original post

Likely be far less costly to just purchase a Spyder that someone has become disenchanted with. With some, the novelty is sure to wear off...

POST 3Original post

my thinking was to install some speedster humps, get a mold taken, and fab a fiberglass panel to replace the clamshell and rear trunk lid. remove the top and have a canvas guy convert it into a little speedster top.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I don't know about that it depends. If the individual is fond of just the "look" of the spider than this would be a good option. I priced out the parts and it was in the ballpark of around 12k in parts. Spyders run about 70k new and even given a few years will hower in the 40's to 50's as it grows as a collectors edition maybe come back up.
