Chop Top Yaris?
Has anyone ever seen or thought of chopping the top of the yaris hb a couple of inches. Cuz we all know it look s like a crazy egg, but I think it would look cooler as a flat crazy egg. This is a big$ project but it would be interesting to see done. Any thoughts?

Yea, I know what you mean. There is a lot of head clearance after you install aftermarket seats. I could cut about 3-5 inches off and still have decent head clearance.

I would like to see what it looks like also

I was too initially, but when I started to photo shop it was very hard to match the pillars. So took the easy way out and I think my second picture looks decent with couple inches out the stomach area.

I tried playing with it in photoshop and it really doesn't work because of the extreme rake of the front windshield in combination with the inward angle of the C pillar. To do the chop below I actually had to add over 12" to the roof the keep the same angle for the windshield and hatch. And, the end effect is a Scion XD.
