Default How Easy/Expensive is it to Convert Hardtop to T-Top

When I first bought my car I was 18 and so happy to have a car that I wanted since the seventh grade that I didnt really go over the car with a fine toothed nail like I should have. Firstly I thought all z28's came with T-Tops(I seriously drove home and got my goose cooked when I tried to remove my nonexistant T-Tops), secondly there were small bubbles in the paint. Well those small bubbles became large ugly bubbles that are now popping. I'd like to convert to T-Tops how much/easy will this be?

I did it, it costed probabaly 300$ Id do it again. No leaks here, looks pretty close to stock. Hard work but you can do it.

Don't do it! Hardtops rock! I searched for my hardtop for for over a year. But, having said that, it is YOUR car not mine...
