Leave it stock, but lower it about 1.5 inch

I would love to do this to my spyder but I drag the front end all of the time now going in and out of driveways.

 

[98DropTop]

AWD swap, replacing the GST emblem with a GSX. Lower and nicer rims.. Obv follow the tech list as well.... That should keep you busy for a while.

Wash, wax, and detail.

Also does your top leak? Nothing ruins a date like water dripping on the girls thigh. If it does then grab an allen wrench and loosen a tiny screw on each convertible latch then just twist the hooks in one turn. Also pull the weather stripping from where the windshield meets your windows and you'll find two small pieces of rubber tube that are now crushed closed from age and use. Rip them out and throw them in the garbage then put your weatherstripping back together.

Otherwise you can always add a rollbar. It adds safety and style.

I was also thinking of a light bar. How about a 2gb wing?

 

[DSM4me44]

Replace your spoiler with the OEM 2gb turbo spoiler. I think Spyders look sick with the top down and the turbo wing.

 

[GsXdSmKingGsX]

Detail the car. Plus get some rims

 

[vanilla gorilla]

I disagree. I think the big wing looks ### on a drop top. It looks cool while the top is up, but once you drop it...its garbage.

IDK man.
Do what you like, its your car and your taste, so can satisfy that better than anyone.
I just say slam it and add atleast an 18" wheel. Maybe an exhaust

I have mixed feelings about the turbo wing conversion, how much work was involved?

 

[Dsmj89]

17x8 rims, 1.5" drop, h.i.d.'s, and tints. That's just me, i love keeping a car clean and simple.

 

[bmxcoolcat1]

probably remove the eclipse letters from the center taillight

 

[lowandsleekDSM]

I agree, keep it simple and clean looking. I do think a drop top thats slammed looks pretty sick in my opinion. Maybe a Talon conversion might not be a bad idea actually. The roll bar is nice touch also!

Talon conversion!!!

^^^ Throw on some slightly smoked clear sidemarkers in the front, looks great though.

I really miss mine now... 98 spyder GST, barcelona red, tein springs, fmic, etc etc etc... It looked amazing with just those little subtle things.

When I read the title of the the thread, I honestly couldn't think of one better answer!
Nothing tighter than a Talon conversion, on a spyder.

I do not think it is a lot of work, but I hadmine done at a body shop. It entailed filling the holes from the original wing and then drilling new holes for the turbo wing. It fits right on the edges of the trunk lid. I've seen some where rubber plugs are put into the holes to seal them, but I wanted a cleaner look. Oh, and thanks for the comment GsXdSmKingGsX!
