Somebody on the forum just did this to a Z06. I can't remember the forum members name but maybe do a search on FRC to Coupe or Z06 to targa top.

Lots of places will do a FRC(Z06)-> Targa. It's not cheap if you have someone else do it. The quickest, cheapester one from my understanding is FRC->Vert.. there are a few people that have done that too.

I thought the Z06 was made a hard top for structural rigidity? Doesn't cutting on the roof greatly affect the car? Since its an aftermarket mod what about leaking? Just curious. I think Zs posted here look awesome!

The FRC and the Z06 have the rigidity of the coupe from the "Targa Bar" and they have the brace that the convertible has behind the seats. The two braces together make the fixed roof body style about 12% stiffer than either the convertible or the coupe.

The part of the roof that is removed is not the bracing....

Caravaggio can do it for you.

Have seen one in person and the Z06 with a targa looks very good.
