IF its' a standard white top, it can be repaired and repainted as long as the frame is ok.
Check with Andreh at Insty Lube on Dale Mabry. He's got a lot of connections for stuff like that. Mike at The Corvette Shop might also be able to help you out here in Tampa.
Check Davies in New Port Richey (Port Richey-I can't remember which is which!). You might get a better price.

Man, that's scarry. It cleared the rear of your car when it flew off? I take it no one was behind you. Good luck with the fix.

Me either...I was hoping for pics...lol. But seriously, sorry to hear about your top. C&S corvettes in Sarasota has a large selection of used stuff, try them.

correction, i AM an f-body owner. shes to sexy, cant sell her. shell be getting a nice rub-down and car cover for the time being. maybe ill get a chance to look into the electrical problem today.
no one was injured, luckily it happened in the parking lot and not on the road. id be pulling her top out of someones front windshield/face. thanks for the info. i called corvette shop & supply and they said they may be able to repair/repaint it. if not there $700.00. white duct tape maybe a viable option. (just kidding) thanks for the info. ill call around. i found some for cheap on ebay. (im an ebay virgin) ill keep everyone posted. and if anyone needs any targa top hardware im your guy. have a good rest of easter. im about to do a brake job & various repairs to roomates car. probably a little crying about mine too. cheers.

went to corvette shop & supply. about 400-500. ive got a loaner now. its black. i think it REALLY looks sharp. ive got limo tint on the sides, and soon to be on the back. (maybe a little something on the front too.) so ive got a few days before he shoots it. im seriously considering having him shoot it black.
