Default T-top to hardtop

Can this be done ? What would something like this cost? Do you think it would look factory?

yeah it can be done but unless you know what your doing with a welder i wouldnt suggest it. You have to weld on the brace. Someone suggested making fiberglass TTOPS that you paint the same color as your car which would look pretty cool IMO. I dont know if painting the glass will look all that great, youd have to replace the TTOP with something solid.
