My Targa top conversion :)

Here is the conversion I did for my business. This is not a kit. Hope everyone likes it

This is my personal car. Missed the coupe, but like the FRC look more

I will answer questions through PM, if there are any. This is one of many services we are providing. Thanks

If my Vette wasnt black I would do the black halo. I think it is a awesome look on other colors.

This is from one of the Corvette purist who does not like the "flashy" mods UNLESS they are done in a matter that would look like a factory job. My friend - you have done it! That really looks good!!!

Great job.

I have been considering the black halo teatment on my pewter coupe for some time. It looks great on yours. Today I actually bought a can of Plasti Dip so I can spray the halo and if I don't like the result, I will just peel it off. If I di like it, I will probably have it wrapped in gloss black.
