West Coast Corvette
This is from the West Coast Corvette 2007 Catalog page 82
Standard Product# 15102134 Price: $3,099.00
Defroster Product# 15102135 Price: $3,349.95
I agree with "chaase" about the reduced trunk space. Also I really don't need the hard top THAT bad here in San Diego.

i agree too, but i love the way the c5 looks with the hardtop, and still being able to go for a top down cruise. i might looked for a used one or something, but i do agree not very practical for $3,500

EDIT: They are the same top. The pictures that WCC is using can be found on the smoothline website.

I own a smooth line and love the look of it instead of having the soft top up. It can be done with 1 person, but 2 is best due to its size (not weight). The attachments are nice and sturdy, and can be installed or removed in 5 mins or less. I could use new weather stripping for around the rear window, but thats not a huge deal 
Im very happy with it

Missing post
Am I missing something, or was there not a post from someone at Smoothline, a summer sale on their C5 hardtop for $2K? I thought I saw it in this thread. I did a search last night and could not find it anywhere. Does anyone know about this?
thanks,
john

The brackets, latches and headliner as well as mount points on the car had to be installed. That will add to the cost of the caravaggio unless you do it yourself.
Finding one used is tough as they don't go up for sale very often. I've already had people tell me to keep them in mind if I ever sell it (which I will once I get a rollbar put in my vert)
