I think this thread is done... thanks so much to everyone for all the support and kind words. Most of all thank you to Gary Ballard (GBVette)... without his guidance and generosity I'd have never had the guts to cut the roof out and do this project. The roof turned out amazingly thanks to him... you really cannot tell that it's not an OEM option.

Also, much thanks to Mark Fay-Head (stormrider), Mike Cizek (illmac77), and Casey Stangle (CSvette) for so much help and support

I'll start a new thread for the new rear bumper install whenever that gets here

I wish i knew you were going to be at Carlisle, I was there for the three days. I would have liked to see the car in person. I sent you an email regarding the rear window. Will look forward to your reply.

i'm gonna say - not if we can help it! this is the ONLY thread i have subscribed to - as i like to peek in and keep an eye on the happenings! the targa FRC is by far the sweetest look in C5s! i just don't have the stones to cut my roof off yet - i'm 'hoping' for a major malfunction that i don't have the money to fix - and when that happens, the roof comes off!
