Default Split Top Mod for C5 Coupe

I was watching Palm Beach, FL Barrett-Jackson auction tonight and saw a C5 modified Vette with a split top mod. Some custom shop had manufactured a piece that fits on the glass hatch of the coupe. It looked great, as my favorite car of all the Vettes is the '63 split top. Anyone have any idea who makes this conversion? I want one!

So much for this mod. Avelate Corporation filed for bankruptcy (for the second time) owing creditors over $600,000+. These guys sound like real great businessmen. http://www.avelatecorvette.com/bankruptcy.html
