I went to the body shop today t check on my car and I was bsing with the owner(my uncles friend) and said I wanted to T Top my car, I first said it to are what he would say and becusse we were talking about my car. He said if I find a kit or find a T Top roof hell do it. I always wanted to T Top my car and becusse they are a rarity to find or see, so I'm contemplating weither or not to T Top my coupe, I kinda want to now becusse I have the chance to have it done for free it would just cost me the price of a T Top roof. I know I'm gonna lose some structural strength if I get the T Tops. So I don't know what I want to do.

I had t-tops on an 83 GT and they leaked frequently. But it was fun cruizing with em off.
Btw I sent you a pm about info for paint and install of Saleen side skirts and door fillers from your friend. Pm me back.

I would NOT do it at all.Its not just the roof that make you lose strenght the car has bracing everywhere throughout the car when its a t-top car.Itll never be right and if you get an aftermarlet setup itll look just hideous.
Leave the damn thing alone,get it done and drive that shit

yea, leave it alone. It may look cool with the tops off, but it won't be cool if it starts leaking and/or if you lose structural strength. keep it clean and simple

I used to want t-tops also, but decided against it. You could do what I did and have a power moon roof put in!

Hardtop is the most desireable top ever made! Most rigid, no leaks, etc!
