Approximately how much would it cost to do a t-top conversion? I have a 95 z28 with a hard top, and I was thinking about coverting it to a t-top, but is it worth it?

It is risky but i think it makes the car more enjoyable in the summer on a nice hot day and just have the tops off, and i have always wanted t-tops on my car, there are a few sites where they tell you step by step on how to do things. The price i would have no clue. You would have to buy the conversion kit for all the weather stripping and other things like the tops and some other minor things

Its not hard. That was my very first time doing the conversion and write-up.

Once you get started you will know exactly what to do. I hardly had to follow the other guides on the net.

Try it yourself. Its a worthwhile experience and confidence builder.
