RE: hard top for e30 ic

["Aceto, Anthony J." <TACETO@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The way I understand it, the ic was built differently than the standard e30
sedan to account for a lack of structural integrity resulting from the lack
of a roof structure. 

It was heavier and has a different suspension.  I'm sure someone with
greater knowledge than I can confirm this and have more detail.

Why not buy the hardtop that was available for the car?  If it's no longer 
available from the dealer, you should be able to find one on the used parts 
market.

It's guaranteed to fit!
