Default targa top for convertible?

is it possible for the targa top kit (on mustangtuning.com from jms) to be used on a vert? or is it really only doable on a coupe.

does anyone know anything about the kit?

I haven't seen anyone on here claiming to have used the kit... call the shop up that makes them and ask... let us know what they say though I love my Convertible too much to put anything on it :P

I don't think so, it needs those c-pillars. maybe someone should fabricate a removeable hardtop. I believe ford made one in 95.

has anyone ever dealt with JMS inc before? they are the company that makes the targa, but the website looks really unprofessional, so i was wondering if anyone knows anything about them -

either way, to answer the question, i found some info on the site that claims a vert version will be available soon.

but before id consider the option i wanna know if they are reputable as far as reliability and quality , since it would be a major purchase.

theyre really a good company...small but good, they make all theyre stuff as people order them. As far as i know that targa top system is only for the hard tops because it just cuts a section out of the roof and puts a little top there.

thats good to hear,
oh and an update for people with convertibles and who may be interested as i was,
I emailed the address from jms website and asked them directly.

they said the ARE working on making a vert targa kit in which the entire shell WILL be removable. I assume this means the convertible top would still be operational. they said it would take 2 people or a special hoist (that they would offer as well) to get the thing on and off - but thats fine since it would probably be a seasonal thing(at least for me).

couldnt realy get any more details than that. if anyone has anything else to add or any comments, by all means speak
