No. We will be sending a bracket that also latches it in the front center...

You could totally do that or just paint the underside as well and it would look good

Or just have some local shop attach material for like $50...

those are the 2 options i'm considering. I'll paint it first, since thats cheaper/easier. and if i'm not happy/and have some money, I'll have some material added.

This might be an excellent solution for the chicken pocks our roof panels are so prone to, since replacement roof panels are $1000 and imposible to find.

I guess so... If it could drop around 20 pounds I'd be in... But since that's the only reason I'd buy it I need to know that first

^to do the full targa top conversion you would cut out the center bar completely. but if you dont want to go that route you can just use this top to replace your t-tops

these are best full targa f-bodies i know of:

IMO full targa is a totally viable option. The a frame on f bodies is made strong by design (for verts).

That said, even factory hardtops need SFCs to keep from twisting these cars, fasho.

Either. You just get the skin so you can actually replace your hard top skin with this one or do a conversion on your hardtop.

SO, then the ESTIMATED (no finished product in hand, going off plug for mold) is around 15-20lbs...
