Thanks

Gary (aka GBVette) cut the top off a Z06 and modded it to fit his vert then modded in a targa.....the only thing bigger than his talent is his heart
Good luck finding something that works for you

He eventually changed it out to a version with a targa.

If you're lookig to buy one, the Caravaggio is the best looking because the shape and rear window look like the factory Z06 roof. The smoothline has a peculiar shape and a small window like a convertible. The fairly close in price, too.

I wanted my C5 convertible to remain looking like my convertible with or without the hardtop/softtop. That's why I bought mine. I also had a removable hardtop on my Triumph TR6 42 years ago and loved it.
