    I've thought about that myself, however i came to find that it is expensive and not really worth it. I am a true fan of hardtops and like the cleaner look, so I decided not to, but Ttops are a very cool feature. I say if you didnt buy the car yet, wait until you find the exact one that you want and buy that. Good luck!

        yah only reason I though about it is I can probably get this car for a crazy cheap price and its rough but only has 89k on it. were talking $1500 or so.

            I think the site is down. The job wasn't bad at all. The biggest pain was cutting all the spot welds. I ended up getting a conversion kit off e-bay. I think I had about $500 into it by the time I was done.

                Stick with the hard top, man! Think of it as the racing model!
