T tops?

[89240sx]

Anybody know about how much they cost to have put in? or who would do the work? I've searched around and cant find anything on it.

btw... i'm not interested in what you think about them just in what they may cost...

i THINK somoene asked this already before in the past. not sure how it turned out tho... but im pretty curious too and would like an answer hehe... Im too lazy to search

Brian Salta did it to his 5th Gen Accord, and it used Z32 T Tops. He did it at a shop called Ultimate Auto Boutique or something to that affect. I know the shop was in Florida or Georgia, one of those surrounding states.

They did a really nice job on it too.

Nissan did make several vehicles concurrent with the 240 that bore T-tops - the NX and Z32 series - so it shouldn't be terribly expensive as far as parts go, provided they will fit the 240 roof profile. I know that Camaro T-tops run about $300 brand-new each, but they are pretty large. You can probably get a set of older NX tops for that full amount from a junkyard.

Then it's a question of having a shop cut out the roofline and reinforce the center bar, installing the appropriate seals and pin locks, etc. There will be a significant amount of labor involved, for sure.

There's a couple of places way up here in NJ that work exclusively on convertible conversions and sunroof installations, I would check around in ATL and call some of those places, the yellow book should have a separate section for auto sunroofs. Sorry I can't offer you more detailed info, but that's a pretty rare conversion. More power to you, though. T-tops rock.

i've looked around and didnt think sunroof guys could do it ( i just assumed) now i suppose i'll call them and ask what they would charge .... anybody know what T tops would be the best fit?

[Meantime]

Sunroof guys can do it, provided they're skilled enough and are willing to undertake a project like that.

I don't have measurements or anything, so this is purely conjecture, but the NX2000 has a top roofline pretty similar in profile to the 240. That would be my guess for a "best fit" scenario.

I'm thinking if you find a good shop you might spend about 1000 or more. I wouldn't spend less. because you want it done very profesionally.

[89240sx]

I dont mind paying 1000 for it to be done.... infact i was estimating around 1200 for the job .... I just need some information on who can do it and what size t tops to get.... and from which car ... i've seen 240s with t tops so i know it can be done

[Queamore]

I would measure to be certain but I would first try the 300zx. or try to find something with a small roof like a 3rd gen camaro if they have it. or does the rx7 have t tops.

[NISMOdrift240]

T tops wouldnt look all that bad i think. This made me think too, what would look really badazz is if someone cut a targa top in an s13 fastback, like the supras. anyone heard of it?

dont mean to jack a thread here, but it relates
