Message	i know when it comes to vettes the reason they did the hard top in the z06 and not in the c5 is because when you get enough horse power and TQ the body when you take off tends to twist a little bit. I dont know how strong your tops are but can they hold up to twisting of the higher horspower 300zx's? i know i like how they look but i would not want to spend money on something that can break easily. i hope there strong and reliable because it looks like a nice product. Either do it right or Dont do it!
