you guys and your damn T-tops. I would sell my soul for a hard top. I wish my car was a hard top, i think it would look 100x's better with a glossy black top.

whistler has a targa top. he took the ttops and custom made a carbon fiber piece to hold them together, and cut out the center brace . it looks good. do a search on camaroz28.com, theres alot of pics. he does awesome custom stuff.

i kinda like the look of a hardtop, but love my T-tops, even with them in, i keep the shades out to let the light in.

i was going to convert my hardtop into a targa, but i dont have the skills or money to mold a cf piece, and if you dont use cf, you need to used .125 steel. i was hoping to reuse the roof, but its not strong enough and will blow off on the highway

Mike, just do it. Should look pretty cool. I'd leave the rubber trimming black, and paint the glass. Would definately be different.
