Need Super Help!

Okay get this, my dumb ass brother decides to take my top off, i have a 88, and at night he decides to put it back on w/o screwing it in. So in the morning on my way to school, i turn out of my neighborhood street and start to go, and i hear air coming from the top, so i touch the top a little bit and i see my whole top flying off while going about 40mph, it was like that scene in fast and the furious when paul opens the top of his supra, that's what happened, luckily no one was behind me close enough to get hit by the top, now the top is bent and messed up, where can i get another one? any suggestions? and please don't laugh it's not funny, it was stupid

hopefully there is someone parting out a supra with a targa top, would be nice if same color. Did you talk to your local body shop and see if they had any opinion on as to wether they could straighten it. Last choice would be a dealership.

if it makes you feel any better i did the same thing .

i had just installed a 3" blitz exhaust and was dying to see how it sounded and performed . took off from the house not remembering the top was just sitting there . you hear a little wind then swoop gone .. way up in the air then down ... no cars behind me luckly . i am pretty sure i was crying as i was running back to get it off the road .. amazingly it landed flat on it's top and slid .. scratches i can live with till i get it repainted
