Yeah, you can probably find a body shop somewhere that will do that.......it's gonna cost you, though. I had them on my '83 Mustang 5.0 and they were a pain to take off, put in the special pouch and store in the trunk. You might be looking at fitment issues (water leaks) as well as reduced protection in the event of a roll-over......

Their more of a pain than their worth. My friend has a '84 Grand National and he has nothing but problems with them. They leak (even with all new seals) ,they rattle when your driving the car not to mention their a pain to take off and put back on. I know it can be done... anything can be done if you have the $ and ambition, but in my own personal opinion you would be MUCH better off just putting in a sunroof. To put T-Tops in a daytona you have to hack up the roof and you also have window frames (the frame around the side windows) you would have to deal with. Also, the roof adds strenght to the structure of the car so if you hack up the roof you would have to deal with adding bracing to the car to get back the strenght you loose by hacking up the roof. I'm not trying to pursude you one way or the other but if I were you I would just go with a sunroof lol. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do !!

I've owned 2 T-TOP cars in the past 10 years and both have been very dry during the rainy times unless it was like blow hurricane forcxe winds! hehe but over all no leaks to complain about.
