Yeah but they might give you problems. Ever get in the car and and the seats all wet. Thats what you looking forward to. But I'm pretty sure there is some pro that can do a excellent job. Call some body shops if they have time they can probely give you some phone #s on where to take it. If you do this its a good idea to get sub frame connecters if you car has a bit more power then stock.

You can do it, but no one would recommend it...

Doing such a change to the body, will weaken the whole structure of the body itslef. I would advice u to not think about hte change... and it would cost way too much to be worth a professional and excellent job. If u really want t-tops, try buying another car

you're better off selling your car and buying a t-top car

Ive seen it done before and it was a very good job (cut and paste) but its an expesnise job. You could get a retractable sun roof installed, it would be much cheaper.
