Don't own one, but have seen their Z06 to targa conversion. Pretty nice job they did.

Well, no, there's a very easy way.

I do it all the time with Caravaggio "converts."

Kind of like a party trick, that Mr. C missed.

Pop your trunk. Don't open it, just hit the switch.

Now open your tonneau cover. Not all the way, just a little bit, maybe raise it just an inch, at the most.

Notice anything?

If the answer is no,.... well, that's the wrong answer.
