'99 FRC Question.
Someone told me a while ago when I first purchased my FRC that I could completely take my roof off. I didn't believe when they told me this and I still don't think I believe it because I have never heard of it before..
Is this true?
Thanks alot,
-Jeremy.

It's not true in the sense that your friend is thinking.
The FRC top is bolted in place and bonded with structural adhesive. It'll come off, but it's not designed to pop off and pop back on.
There are vendors and forum members that can turn them into 'Verts, hardtop 'Verts, targa-top FRCs, and such, but it's not free...

GM only charges a $6K premium for a 'Vert over a Coupe, so I hope a conversion isn't $12K.
Anyway, you have a low-production '99 FRC...I'd vote if you really need open air, sell that one and buy a car that came off the line as a drop-top.
