The method to convert is pretty easy:
Step 1: sell your coupe.
Step 2: do i really have to tell you step 2 ;-)

You do realize that your car will be worth next to nothing if you go through with that, right? It will be a frame damaged car that was never designed to be a convertible from the beginning. Just sell it and buy a real one if you want a convertible
