To change a Taga Top car into a FRC ?

If so what parts do I need and where do I get them ?

Cheaper to just trade the car in and get a Z06

I would agree with Zilla. If you convert the car to a fixed roof car, it would negatively affect the car's re-sale value and sellability. I wouldn't think of buying a converted car when there are so many untouched Corvettes out there.

Im sure it's possible, about anything is nowadays. But as stated above, it just wouldn't be cost effective. Just buy a real FRC and swap the drivetrain, it would probably be cheaper.
