I've seen custom hatch lids that look like a split window, and some others, but does anyone make a hatch that simulates a FRC?

It would seem like a lot of work - it might be cheaper to chop a hatch into an FRC...

I am sure Gene at Karshop could sell you all the parts off a FRC to convert your Coupe to a FRC look. And you will still have your targa.

Caravaggio does a conversion of a FRC or Z06 into a targa. Here are some pics:

Now if they could slim up the b-pillar thickness a bit, and use the exact same rear window as the FRC, I think we'd be in business.
Imagine, the versitility of the targa top and hatch trunk, but the look of the FRC.
To the guys who mention targa converting a FRC, you'd still have a trunk lid instead of a full hatch. I kindof like having a hatch, but don't need all that glass back there, and like the long rear deck look of the FRC.
