Default Z06 "looking" Hatch for Coupes???
Just wondering if there is a company out there that makes a hatchback replacement for 97-04 Coupes that looks like the back of a 01-04 Z06 or 97-00 FRC...

Yes there is but the down side to this is you have to buy the whole car 99-00 FRC

This is the closest conversion I've seen.

'Course, you could go the roundabout path and do the conversion to a convertible like Pacethis is doing and then buy the Caravaggio hardtop conversion for the vert.

haha..... I love the targa and would never trade it of a fixed roof. I just like the look of the flat trunk.

I've seen pics of coupes that had a conversion like you mention on them. IMO, they do not look anywhere near as good as with the regular coupe rear glass.

There needs to be some sort of test on having some taste before you're allowed to buy a Corvette.

GBVette did this, but started with a vert, I believe all the work was done by Gary himself
