That would be awesome of you. I figured I would need to buy the frc speaker panels and fabricate them to fit around the tonneau and the coupes panel should slap right on. I havent even bought the panels yet.

I'm thinking of doing this conversion. I'm not sure if I want the targa, but I'm wondering how to latch the hardtop down? Or is that the reason for going with the targa? I believe I can do this in about a good weekend. I already have all the parts minus a targa roof.

Its cooler and easier for you to go the targa rout because If you remove the entire top, it saves some space. I wouldn't want this conversion without the targa.

I was thinking about this yesterday. It would cost me twice that to send my car to Canada to have it done. I don't think I could do this myself, wish there was someone in the Southeast that could do something like this...

Looks Awesome, I love it

Thats the great thing about this conversion, you see, the trunk can open up like a tonneau cover and slide the top on the inside. it fits real snug up against the wheel wells. Awesome!
We both have unique cars. The interesting thing is most of the public doesn't even realize that they didn't come from the factory this way. Good job fuel_junkie.
Would like to see yours as a convertible - pics please.
