Aftermarket Hardtop

Aftermarket Hardtop

I've got an '04 SLE convertible and wonder if there is an aftermarket hardtop available for it.

Regards,

I seriously doubt it. Besides, can you imagine the amount of modification (i.e. holes) you'd have to make to your car to get the hardtop to fit and anchor. And getting one fabricated and installed from a high-end custom shop would lead to financial self ruin.

I don't of any aftermarket hardtops available for your car but the car would look so much better with a hardtop than with the stock softtop imo.

Thus defeats the purpose of buying a ragtop :(

The only reason why I don't like softops is because some people like to take a knife and make holes in them.

With a hardtop the most are scratches, well unless they use a sledgehammer....

Hey I don't hang around with crazy folks, but my dad always told me about the vandalisms to the convertibles around his workplace.

Some parts of Orlando are really nasty, like that one time a poor Ferrari 360 Modena had a F**** you etched on its body.

Damn! Sounds like he shorted 2 kilos of coke with too much baking soda, but still what a bitch move to do that to a Modena. :cry: Couldn't they just pop him with a .22 behind the ear and feed his carcass to a woodchipper out of retaliation, why do people gotta mess with another man's car like that?!
