lol... recommending someone to do the t-top conversion by themselves is easier said than done. i want to do it, but thinking of taking a saw to my car sorta scares me away...definitely would want help if i was doing it, from someone who's done it before..

I couldn't do it myself either. That's why I am trying to find someone that has done it before.
