I heard something about a T-top convesion kit for third gen F-Bodys is that true?

 

places will cut them, but they come out an odd shape. dont do it man


hail the hard top

 

Yes, I agree. If you want a ThirdGen with t-tops you'd do much better just to purchase one with factory tops.

I also agree, my first ThirdGen was a '91 hardtop RS.

But I gave in...t-tops are just so bloody cool!

 

i like the tops for crusin, but way to much of a hassle otherwise. besides, with serious power cars you want the hard top

 

i wish the well was wide enough for our tops to fit down there together, so i could make a stand for them, its alot of trouble to get them in that bag and it zipped up.

 

yup. GM got the clue in the 4th gens...

 

really what did they do? My buddys 4th gen he still had to put them in the bag and all? maybe i just misread..

 

he had a bag in the 4th gen? wow my buddy has the plastic holder in the back where the hump is. you just slide em down in and they snap into place

 

I've seen both ways in the 4th gens.

The bag is a hassle, but it looks so cool!

 

That sounds sweet, I agree that would be nice....but actually wouldn't work for me 'cause then I'd have no room for my subs.

 

IIRC, and I often don't, there are some "conversion kits" that consist of the roof from a factory t-top car, and the conversion consists of cutting your hardtop off at the seam line and welding the t-top roof on, just as it would have been done at the factory. I think a conversion done in that manner would look decent, but the cost of such a project would almost surely be more than the price of a t-top car.

 

don't do it, for the structural rigidity of your car... a friend of mine has a hard top, and i've always had t-top cars.... the amount of bracing made the first words out of my mouth say "wow"... a lot less metal up there on a non hard top car.

 

I've been told it screws the rigidity of your car. My friends 4th gen has them it's a blast to go cruiseing in. So I heard of the kit and wanted to know if I should do it or not.

 

There's a company that does it but it's pricey. Dosn't seem like they add the extra bracing either. http://www.markscustomkits.com/T-top_Conversion.html
