hardtop conversion
I'm looking for the after market hardtop to install on my C5 convertible for a dual look. want to see whats involved in the installing kit. I know my C4 is a pain in the butt to convert back and forth. But it's sure good looking with the hardtop on. My other 3 corvettes had both tops all C1s. Any information on who builds the kit would help.

I've owned both and talked to several people with each type. Don't waste your money on the Smoothline. I ended up repairing several faulty areas due to poor design. It never sat right on the rear deck. And the little back window (roadster window) makes it look like an added piece.
The Caravaggio has much better construction and the big (Z06 style) rear window makes it look like a factory part.
