T-tops or sunroof?

[94-3.4]

I currently have a hard top but have seen several t-top conversion and also sunroofs on 4th gens. I really enjoy driving my dads car with a sunroof and would also like to pop the t tops off in the summer. What are your takes on these mods?

I am pretty sure you can't put a sunroof in a 4th gen. The T-top roof bar is in the way and if you cut it you would seriously comprimise the integrity of you car.

Go for the T-tops, Sunroofs are gay anyway.

Not true at all! ;) I've seen 4th gen F-Bodies with sunroofs! And structural integrity with a sunroof is no more comprimised than having t-tops. A hardtop F-body has two additional bars welded into place (one on each side). So with only cutting the center bar, there's two more there. IMHO, it's probably more stucturally sound with a sunroof than t-tops.

But I agree.... sunroofs look horrible on 4th F-bodies! :(

Good point, I didn;t even think of that. Well, the fact still remains that they look gay.

Go T-Top man

T-tops

Also, the sun roof thing, even if you removed that center bar and compramised the cars integrity, it would still be the same as having a convertable wouldn't it? I do agree with the bad looks of the sunroof, t-tops may the car look great, I love the way they have the dark tint look to them, and if you get your windows the same darkness, it will look great and all blend together!

convertables have a stronger frame

also, a t-top conversion will not be easy, nor cheap, thats why people do put those ugle sunroofs on, i would keep it the way it is, and buy your next f-bod as a ttop

Sunroof bad! T-tops good! Targa best ;)

At this point i can't find anyone to do it and my balls aren't big enough to cut apart my car. But by this summer i hope they will have grown. :D

Id love to turn my T-tops into a targa top. I saw one at a car show like that.

I'd go t-top.. sunroof just seems like it belongs on a camry... but I don't know if the price is worth the results.

glass t-tops are heavy and weigh your car down, and yes sunroofs on camaros are GAY. Stick hard top.

just my .02

Sunroof + F-body = extremely ugly

I haven't looked into it but from what I've heard from people on sites is that it's very expensive and doesn't turn out looking all that great. I wanted to do it to my 3rd gen firebird but never did. Isn't the inside shaped like there are T-tops there? Wouldn't that make a sunroof look really stupid on the inside? Your probably better off waiting until you get another F-body to get T-tops.

I think convertables have subframe connectors from the factory

If they bring back the F-body it had better have T-tops
