Default Looking for a replacement Targa Top

I am looking for a reputable and reasonable vendor to buy a replacement targa top for my 2000 coupe. Mine is scratched up pretty bad. I found one at a good price of $800 shipped from CorvettePartsWorldwide but I have never heard of them and reviews online are few are far between. Anyone out there have any advice?

I sanded mine out to 1000 grit, then took it to my local body shop so they could finish it to 1500 frit and spray clear on it. It came out awesome. Cost $300 for the final work, but it's beautiful.

Thee are DIY threads here on how to do it if you do a search. I used this one: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...sh-how-to.html

Check the for sale section here in the forum and/or post up a wanted to buy notice there. You can also check with places like VetteNuts or Corvette Recycling. Finally, places like Mid-America offers a refurbished one and you trade in your non-damaged frame as a core.
