OR s5 vert to hardtop?

Has anyone removed the entire convertible portion of their rx and fabbed up a hard top? Or is there a kit out there for? I was thinking it would be pretty sweet to keep the targa top with hard top using the same clamp in fasteners. Any ideas? Has anyone else already done this?

Thanks!

Chris

Mazda thought about it,..sort of..did it, and called it a Miata.

When I had my Vert I contemplated it too,But ****,I would need a shop to do it!

Funny you would think that driving a Vert is "scary" as it has no roof.
But when I had mine I felt rather tucked in and safe driving it even though you could see the sky.

I like the Coupe though and always have,but If I could I wouldn't bark to go "Miata type removable hardtop".

The only real hatred for the Vert was the soft roof that offered no real theft deterrent or protection of any Extreme cold weather.
