Hi,

I have to be honest. This is something you will need to contact a body shop to do. I honestly never heard of someone doing it. Chances are you will be able to buy a hardtop for less than it will cost.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care and God bless,

Joe

As Joe said you could buy a hardtop car for less than the cost to convert a drop-top over. To do it completely you would need to replace about half of the rear section of the car as the body panels from the A pillar, doors and rear quarters are actually different between the two.
Now if you mean to remove the soft top and just replace it with a hard piece that looks like a convertible top, that might be possible, but it would be entirely custom and expensive.
Probably $4,000.00 to $5,000.00 for all the work and paint or more.
