Will this do?



Actually there is a company that makes soft tops that could bolt on, they slide back and leave a bit hole but not a convertible, would have to search and find them and bug them to make a tC one.

They did a one off and had to cut out the roof on a Mazda wagon for B&G suspensions, I would seach in that area first.

There are two "beams" they are apart of the whole sun/glass roof structure and could be left on with a bit more work. If you look carefully along the drivers side rail you will see two darker colored brackets sticking out into the open area, that is where the bolt on at.

I don't live in my mom's basement I live in a crappy apartment, get it right. Don't trust anyone who has Phish lyrics in his signature. You can't join the mailing list, you called me an a-hole.

Am I the only one that does not like convertables? Not bashing them at all, just wondering. I dont think there is a new car made (in the last 30 years) that looks good as a convertable. Honestly I think the best way to ruin a mustang or 350z is to make it a convertable.. just doesnt look right to me. The only cars I like as convertables are the old Bonnevilles, Impalas, chevelles etc. Anyway, just wondering if I was the only crazy one

actually a targa top or a t-top would be relatively cool on the tc.

How about a TT roadster? Or even the new Thunderbird (even though they probably only sold a few hundred )? Or the S2000 even...
