Default Convert a convert to hard top?

Does anybody make a removable hard top to replace a factory convertible? Or are there any other cool ideas other than a simple vinyl replacement top? I love the idea of a convertible in the summer months, but Utah winters bring the suck.

My '88 needs a top anyways, and I just thought a targa-style top would be really neat.

Ideas?

I have seen one made for the new edges, and looked pretty good actually, but not sure if they have it on any other models

Never seen one for a fox body. But nothings impossible. Might get expensive though.

Should I just get a nice replacement vinyl top and stop worrying about it?

If so, what brands/style does everyone prefer?

Will order a top tomorrow...

On a side note, I'm looking for replacement sun visors, but every one I find says coupe/hatchback. They don't say that they don't fit the convertible, but if they did, I'd think it'd say they did. Anybody know if they are different visors on a convertible?

Thanks guys... I actually found that site last night on my own. Guess I should have done a little more research before posting. Apparently I was to preoccupied with cheap hookers and cheaper beer.
