I think verts look great with the top down and one of those bars, but with the top up I just don't like the lines that the top makes.
I agree with you on that, but the newer ones do a better job of keeping the lines than previous models.

I also think adding T-tops or a sunroof would bring down the value of the car over time. I was looking for Grand Nationals a few summers ago and skipped over all the ones with the T-tops and sunroofs. Didn't want to get involved in that, because once they get older, they leak.

The glass roof is WORTH the 2 grand that I paid for it on my car.
A convertible without the noise or wind.

This is a stupid issue of mine, but it seems like when you drive a vert, especially one like a Mustang and the top is down, people stare. I don't think I could stand that.
As a 'vert lover, I don't hate you, I understand a choice. You should get what pleases YOU - I did.

A convertible without the noise or wind - is not a convertible.

LOL.

Never really a fan of the glass roof. With black hair, the last thing I needed was more hot sun. Even though it was tinted and has a shade, I can still feel it through the tint on a hot summer day.

You shouldnt have a problem with rigidity. If you ever remove your healiner you will see that there is practically nothing but a thin peice of sheet metal up there (except around the perimeter)
And any decent shop should be able to prevent leaking

Wow, any ideas as to how much that setup would cost and where i could buy!
That looks awesome

On my glass roof, if I want wind or noise, I just roll the windows down.
