Would there be any reason GM could not do this?

Thanks for the post. I like the way it looks. My favorite camaro is 93-97 and t-tops is a must but I would purchase a 5th gen if it had t-tops. If they never make t-tops on 5th gen I would never purchase one.

I agree they need to be glass and would like to see pics where they were glass.
Your not losing rigidity (if so a minute amount). I can't see this weighing more, because they are not going to need to add rigidity to it.

Horribly dated look imo. It is true a great % of Camaros were ordered with t tops but talking to owners hardly met a soul that took them off more than a couple of times a year. If they even have it as an option I hope they are lexan due to an already piggy car.

Yeah, there's reasons GM didn't do it.

I didn't think I'd like it, but those pics changed my mind. The cut lines match the car well, and I kinda dig the fact that they are body color and somewhat invisible when not removed. You get hardtop looks combined with the possible open air use.

That is what I was getting at, are their safety regs that would stop this.
I was unaware our 4th gens had extra weight underneath to add rigidity.

Also, for what it's worth, I believe 4th gen t-top cars were only 12lb heavier than the hardtop model.
