Available Hard-Top conversion?
I have a 2001 C5 convertable and I was curious if a hard top was available for the colder, wetter months in Washington. If so, how much do they cost and can I install one myself?

Try Caravaggio
Check out Caravaggio Corvettes. I have a hardtop from them on my convertible, and it's a great addition. You can find out more about them here.
And for reference, here's a picture of my car....

The Caravaggio top requires you to attach two brackets where the seatbelt loops are, and these mate up to latches (same type used to attach the convertible top to the windshield) that secure the rear of the hardtop.
It's easy to attach and pretty elegant.

To best of my knowledge, it hides out in trunk. I know of a used one for sale here in York, PA right now. Painted some type of grey or silver.
asking $2,900. Not mine but a member of our club which I will be seeing tonight.

Hmmm I'm in Harrisburg. I might be interested in that. Can you please send the details and possibly pictures to: hayman@paonline.com?
I would like to know how it is installed.

Go direct to the manufacturer at www.smoothline.com. I've talked with them about their products, and they came off as a first class operation.
