If they did that I'd be the first in line to buy it!

No kidding? Do the inner fender liners that come in the kit still fit if you do that?

Do either of you have any pictures of how you made the kit work with the targa top mounts?

supercoupe01, I PMed you my email.
So, were you both able to use the inner fender liners with your modified tubs?
I have been wondering if the kit could be modified for use with the targa brackets. I just did not want to be the first one to try it...
Thanks for sharing the info!

You can look at page 13 & 14 of "my photos" to see some of the rubber

To see the tub install showing the top in the back look at pages 5,6,& 7 of BLONDE C5 photos:
