There was a thread for sunroofs started a while back. Quick google search turned this up. Can't see any of the roof lines or anything, but hopefully you get a slight idea of what it looks like.

^^ thats pretty badass, not gonna lie,


just thought about, all the metal work involved in this process, most likely will need paint work, interior headliner redone,

at the end of the day, really worth the price tag for a small piece of glass???

Yep, it could be shaped to perfectly match the current top. Of course, a factory sunroof (or a quality aftermarket one) could probably do the same.

Targa top would turn the chassis into a twisty noodle. I know I'm in for a flame-o-rama but...

...and, yes, I know there is/was some concept work on a convertible. I'm just not down with it.
