Not that i doubt its a good mod, but for real, whose t-tops rattle?? My car doesn't seem to have any noticable rattles, that would annoy the sh*t outta me. I don't think i've had a t-top that rattled since my '79.

My t-tops never rattled, but man, the SFCs did they make the car handle a hell of a lot better. I never thought my car handled bad in the first place, but it made a world of difference.

I think that there is quite a bit of integrity lost to the overall rigidity of the car with the addition of t-tops, especially with the unibody design of the f-body. I believe that the installation of the SFCs more than compensates. And on a hard top, I understand that there is no flex at all.

i paid $40 to get mine put on. this was at a Mieneke with a total of at least 3 shops in various locations around town. one of them would have costed me well over $80 to get put on but on the other side of town it was only $40. so you should shop around for the best deal. you will need to use an exhaust shop b/c the have a drive-on type lift to install them right.
