Default DSVettes roof liner from Top Flight - Pics.

I got my two piece removable roof liner from Top Flight Reproductions tonight. I couldn't resist the opportunity to install it. The packaging is very nice. The build quality is excellent as expected from Gerardo. The customer service from Top Flight Reproductions is excellent as expected. The only good thing I can think of about currently living in Massachusetts is that everything from Top Flight that I buy arrives next day.

I figured I'd post a few pics of the product and the install if you can call it that. If you've got the transparent top I can easily recommend this addition for those long summer trips. I'll get a few shots outdoors over the weekend and some driving impressions to see how it does in general for cabin noise. We use the clear top exclusively and I do love to have the outside view but there are times in the summer when the car has been sitting in the sun that the added shade will be welcome.

Enjoy,
Paul

The nice carry bag that the tops arrive and store in.



The two piece top from the bottom and the attachment method shown.



Relative size. Here it is in the back of my coupe.





The transparent top before.



One piece of the liner in place for comparison



Both pieces in place.



A quick shot from the outside - not visable at all.

Looks nice Paul I was looking at one of those on the web the other night and then suddenly remembered that I have a solid top in the storage bag out in the garage! Big dummy. The Bash will be here soon and everyone is making all the little last minute changes. I ordered one of those darn Cashmere/Ebony shift boots last night!

Really nice. I'll bet it adds a fair amount of acoustic insulation too.

That was fast! Now can you do it with JSB stitching and send it to my doorstep?

You might like these, they are very similar to the JSB.

I do like those a lot! Are you going to have a booth set up at the C6 Bash? I may have to purchase a set along with the headliner.

Yeah, I guess it probably doesn't make sense then. You could just swap in the solid panel. C'mon bash.
