see how the roof comes up from the window seal really smooth? and the center isnt a sharp edge as it looks in the current design your working with. I dont however think that this exact body line would look correct on an f-body, but the basic design i think is the direction I personally would steer towards if i were to purchase one.
Thanks though!

you might consider molding a new sail panel to match the lines of the targa then, i think the fact that the targa top doesnt flow with the uhh, "flatness"??, of the sail panel is where pepole are going to be inclined not to go with it. either that or possibly flaten out the lines towards the rear of the top.

i wouldnt really consider it to be ricey if done the way i can picture it in my head. i'm not very good at putting my ideas to paper, never have been. Probably couldn't draw a circle with a compss, The viper is a little dramatic for what i was thinking, But something "along" that route would be ok. I think. I just thought of the way it has the smoothness to it without being so flat. which is what 6LE was saying he didnt like about the hardtops earlier.
I guess more of a mixture of the flat hard top of the camaro mixed with the "bulge" of the viper would come closer to describing what i see in my head.
EDIT:
Opps, must have skiped over a page or something.

if u can get it to work with the factory t-top latches, id be down. should be fairly easy since the latches esentially glue to the glass. i don't really like how my t-tops look, so id love to be able to make it look like a hardtop but still be able to take off the top. would this fit on top of the back seat in case i still wanted to take it off?

dosnt look all that good with the center thingy, looks like someone pushed their thumb on your forehead. that design may work on the newer cars since their lines are more sharp and edgy, but for 4th gens it's all about the curves.
kinda like a chick with nice tit's and *** real nice bottle coke body with a body builders jaw line..... just dosnt flow with each other.
but that's just my opinion.

it looks fkn perfect the way it is ...my questions are..
how does it perform under flex? high wind? hard rain? if you dont have SFC and get on it..will it pop loose? * my t tops have done that numerous times* how is it stability wise? just some concerns i have before getting one...also hows about a custom mounting bracket that lays over the gas tank? just an idea.. and thanks for going out and doing something new and fresh and bad *** for our cars!!!

Holy crap you guys need to READ! Damn!
ATTENTION! THIS WILL USE FACTORY T-TOP LATCHES AND THE T-BAR WILL REMAIN INTACT!
Unfortunately making a modified sail panel is most likely going to be difficult to pull off.. (Not that i'm creating this, but) It's a PITA to get the old one off, you have to destroy it to remove it. It'd probably just be too much work to do all of that. It looks fine now, wait til' the finished product, i'm sure it'll look killer.
