replacement t-tops

i cant seem to find a website that sells replacement t-tops and i was wondering if anybody knew of a site that did because my t-tops have scratches all over them. i was also wondering if hardtop t-tops are possible for my camaro kinda like the ones in 70's model corvettes...the ones with t-tops appeared to be hard tops instead of having the plasitic t-tops that came with camaros

most ttops that came wiht the cars are glass, instead of the lexan which you seem to have, i have a set of both, and i like the wight of hte lexan but the nice smoothness of the glass.

your best bet it to look for used ones either on this site or on ebay. or even a local want advertiser type deal.

there was a member on these boards that had their tops painted like their car to make them appear to be a hard top.

it was a red firebird, but i cant not recall his name, do a search and it hsould turn up

Although I do not have a definate answer, I'm sure the whole painted t-top would be possible! Might have to be custom done? I used to have an '89 Pulsar as my winter car, and the t-tops (yeah... t-tops on a winter car, lol) on that one were painted to match the car, but snapped in place a little bit different than the firebirds, so it appeared to be continuous (the firebird would have the black metal part running between the two, unless you painted that as well).

I think that would be a pretty cool modification though!!
