Unless you're a really handy guy and can do most of the work yourself or plan on keeping your car for the rest of your life, I would pass.
I plan on keeping mind so I made the investment.

Yeah cnverting from a coupe to a frc is alot of work for sure!!! But going from a frc to a frc tagra is really a easy conversion to do with this kit.. Its very very straight forward
not a easy or inexpensive proposition. I know i am in the midst of doing it along with a acp widebody kit.

Personally, I think the coupes are ugly compared to the hardtops and convertibles, but that's just my opinion.
Good luck with the sale.

no you are wrong!! if your converting a frc to a frc targa you do not need a rear tub or new fenders.... no interior changes either except the interior roof panel and thats included in this kit...everything to do this conversion is in the pictures... i have a body shop near where im at and he has done 20+ frc targa conversions for people all over the USA... NOw IF YOU CONVERTING A FRC TO A COUPE THEN THATS A HARD CONVERSION... and not really worth all the work and time..
I can't imagine it's all that easy as you need a new top rear tub, you have to get the roof off that is glued down like a ****, you need rear fenders, plus paint, not including all of the interior changes.

Still a tough job to get the roof off without damaging the rear upper tub as you don't have access to get to the rear bonding strip that is made out of urethane (rubber).
Been there and done that. I guess if you don't mind hacking up the factory roof panel, you may be able to get it off. without damaging the rear upper tub.
Lucky for me I live only a couple of miles from Gene (Gmpartshouse.com) so I don't have to pay shipping charges.

he told me $3000 for installation and paint but i think if you showed him cash he would do it cheaper... or im sure you could find another experenced body shop that could do it maybe also.. i was just gonna use him becasue he has done alot of these over teh yearsa dn is so close to me.. this is a really really RARE CONVERSION AND HARD TO GET YOUR HANDS ON IT.... im not sure if the top will fit in teh trunk or not

Easiest way to make it work woul be to find a coupe's two rear tub latches and foot pieces.
Fasten a thin piece of metal to the floor boards to mount the foot pieces.
Hope that helps.

thanks for the info!! lots of interested buyers but no cash yet... also for everyone who asked this does not affect the structure of the z06...

The new section stops just like a coupes would at the upper metal halo.
The targa roof fills in the section between the windshield and the upper rear halo.
Hope that helps.
