Im sure you could get a hardtop custom made for an eclipse...but I don't know why. You'd have to have the existing top removed and a hard top fabbed up...ehh. As far as a targa goes, it's not even close to worth it. Only two guys have done it themselves and it took them months. The bottom line is this, if you want to shell out 10K+ to make your car handle worse, more unsafe, and a less sporty car just to have a roof piece come out, go for it.

You think i should just leave it a convertable? I like it for the summer but 4 some reason the hardtop ones look like littler cars.

you "could" do a targa out of a convertable and not have to worry about handleing issues. $$$ would be the only factor though.
