Default targa top

Anyone know how much it would run to get someone to cut and install a targa top into a 1st gen tib.

RavDav did it to his 2nd gen red tiburon. I'm sure there's pics around somewhere.. if i remember hearing correctly, the car handled like complete crap afterwards.. i guess you'd need to re-enforce your chassis like a mofo... possibly subframe connectors, sway bars, strut bars, roll cage, etc..

yeah,, def. not worth it.. to do a targa top right. the whole frame has to be reinforced like whoa.. the only reason some cars have it and handle good is because it was designed for a targa top.
