Default T-Top Conversion

Someone told me to come into this section and ask about this. Has anyone on here converted a hardtop car into one with T-tops? If so how much did it cost, and did you go to a dealership or just an after-market body shop type place?

There are far too many T-Top cars around to do this.

It'd be cheaper to just get a T-Top car. Most conversions I have seen are horribly botched.

I don't want my car to have T-Tops but that's all I could find around here. It seems like every F-Body I see has them. They make the car flexible and squeaky.

There was someone on here that did this. Very time consuming!!
Do a searchon this board and you will find it.

Unless it's a rare car that you really want to keep AND you really want T-Tops, I'd just get another car. (If it was rare, like a hardtop Formula WS6 you could probably fetch a mint from someone here anyway.)

I've done it and it is not worth the trouble unless you have good contacts at a paint shop and good fabing skills. I have seen some people do it half assed and they thought it looked great, but I am the type that if it does not look like it came with it I don't like it in my car. so i would suggest that you just hold what you have or look around for a car you like with T-tops.

I'd make it a targa conversion like whistler did on his I was going to all that trouble.
