Only worry I would have is the integrity of the car cutting the roof off.

That would concern me as well unless the zeta platform is strong enough to handle cutting the roof off ? Pedders extreme sub frame connector kit or a call to Hotchkins might be in order ? Don't know if I could cut the roof off my new camaro,

Dont take this wrong ,i'm sure their work is outstanding.I would never do this because the value of the car plummets once this is done.My uncle has a very low VIN 70 1/2 TA with the ram air 4 package,and its worth a lot less than it should be.He put T-tops in it after he bought it.While job looks factory on it,and the craftsmanship is excellent.He will not be able to sell it for anything close to what it should be worth.

I wouldn't cut into a car like that. If you want a convertible, buy one made from the factory that way. Not that these guys don't know what their doing, this is just my opinion.

Aequitas, I can't really explain why I like mine. It's nice sometimes to drop the top and go for a ride. I only drop the top probably a handful of times a year. The weather has got to be just right, low wind and not too hot. And...you gotta be careful of what's in the car...cuz if it's papers or something like that...the wind will suck it right outta there.

....and this is how expensive?

TripleB · 07-25-2009, 05:30 PM

kinda cool...but i'm not a convertible guy.

what rims are those? i'd like those on my camaro when i order it, but they don't look like the midnight silver or the polished (chrome?) ones.

socalicrusin · 07-25-2009, 11:24 PM

Seriously!!!???? Nope! Absoultely not! Logically just wait for the factory version...duh. These guys might do a good job but so did Dr. Frankenstein?, right?

derin11 · 07-26-2009, 01:05 AM

The second you guys can do this to my camaro, Ill buy it, and is it guranteed leak free?

CamaroTransAmFAM · 07-26-2009, 03:46 PM

im not a fan of convertibles im more of a t/top and sunroof man but this conversion fron CPE is outstanding if GM keeps dragging itz feet fly over to CPE

Tht is exactly what I'm wondering. I like the idea, but are you sure it's not going to start leaking within a month or so?

Second that. A T-top would be amazing!

Steeler NY · 07-27-2009, 11:34 AM

There is something about driving with the top down!! I am still going to wait until 2011 hopfilly the GM will have a glass rear window. The wait will be worth it! This one looks good but I bet GM will be better. If GM is are paying attention they will address the antenna and brake light!:5thgenvert:

kdoske · 07-27-2009, 06:39 PM

this is fugly if you ask me, then again--no one asked...

greg_74 · 07-27-2009, 07:13 PM

Waiting to see the finished product with pictures of the car out of the garage with both the top up and down...

I want to order a vert in a couple years so this thread could give a good idea of what they will look like.
