Default Targa Conversion For The Z....

We'll after much thinking I've decided to keep my Z for a while longer. I LOVE the new Z but I have WAAAY to much money in mine to dump it. My question is, does anybody know of a company in CA that can do the same conversion that Carvaggio does? There's no way I'd ship the car all the way to Canada. I would love to have the roof off and wondered if this was an option outside of Carvaggio.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, Mike
No Problem at all.
I think this will do the job. Drive on over to AZ, and I will GIVE YOU $50 and several beers to watch my fun.

And, best of all, I have weekly garbage pickup with a big container.

Oh, I'm sorry, maybe you wanted it "back" in case of rain ? :

I'm not a big baller like you Frank, I'm a paycheck player! I don't want to sink TOO much more money in this thing, I see a new Z or srt-10 in my future next year.

Big baller? You been talkin to my ex?
Nearly got the Viper last year, but I hate rags. The new coupe has a nice *** end, and are actually cheaper than the marked up Z.

How much to ship it anyway?
