coupe to hardtop
I saw a pic of a vette that's a hardtop at carvagio corvettes a while back and the vette had a targa top that was custom made. well i have a coupe, is there away to change the back(glass and trunk) with one that has the same resemblence as the hardtop. i think it would be nice if someone builds and maybe sell it for around 600-800$. and a carbonfibre one for 100-1200$. so you will have the looks of a hardtop but with a targa.

You should a bought a convertible, if you want the back look of a hardtop! The coupe would not look right with that kind of a look.

Or how about something like this...

You could just pop out the back window and go coupe style like the stingrays...not quit hardtop, but different. This camaro sports back actually looks good if painted all black with a black top.

Re: coupe to hardtop (RCswish)
I recently saw something in a magazine (sorry can't remember which one) where someone was selling a hardtop for the convertible model. With the hardtop addition, the car looked exactly like a FRC! It was very cool looking. I don't think it would be very cheap to do that on a coupe though. If I see it again I will post it.
