Yeah it is a huge pain to convert a hardtop to t-top, it can be done but it is very expense and difficult... I think their is one guy who does it but its like 7,500 (not posative if you search im sure you can find the guys website) For that kind of Money you can buy a nice t-toped car.

I love T-tops but I also like the looks of a hardtop car! I've had 3 t-top cars and 2 hardtops.

If you have a black car you don't have to paint your T-Tops, they already match

I vote t-tops, I like being able to look up through my roof

However, I do not like the fact that the car is currently parked as a direct result of it's tops. Replacing the weatherstripping is a pain in the ****.

Hartops give a cleaner look.

Not only does a car with a hard top have better lines and look much cleaner, but the structural integrity of your car will be stronger. I feel that t-tops are meesy looking when the panels are in .and spoil the overall look of a car.
