Hardtops on most cars have always destroyed the lines. The Merc Pagodas and what followed, and even the TR6 actually succeeded. Unless a hardtop mimics the soft top, it will look weird. I still don't know why hardtops were not made the same shape as soft tops.
Can't be that difficult. My Honda S2000 had a super-neat hardtop which fitted precisely over the erected softtop. Lovely car, wonder where it is now.....
