Default Transparent top vinyl spears???
Do any vendors make vinyl spears for the transparent tops?

I'd like the add some to the sides of mine so that it's similar to the Carbon fiber roof with the painted sides.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Vettefx can do something.

I'd be interested as well.

If enough post interest, one of the vendors will make it happen.

This is a great idea, but wouldn't the color AND gloss have to be exactly the same as your body paint? That is a continuous body color strip between the windshield and the rear hatch glass; and it is highly visible being at chest height. Repainting would be the optimum way to handle this issue.

Make the vinyl spears the same colors as the Stinger and Racing Stripes? Those are already in production. I'll go for it.

Who are the forum vendors that produce vinyl graphics? Anyone have a contact to email or PM to see if one of them can make these happen?

I'm impressed by their quick response. Response below:

"I have no problem making that but the matching color would be an issue. Let me contact 3M to see if they would custom print the color for me."

I'll follow-up for the group once I get further info.

I would be interested in a Torch Red pair if the price was not outrageous.

Are you talking about the "body-color surround" look?
