Default Show me your tops

I am considering getting a new set of mirrored glass t-tops. Where is the best place to get them. If any of you guys have em, post your pics of them.

Also, anything I need to watch out for (installation, etc)

There was also mention of moonroof I found when searching for t-tops. They mentioned it was suppose to be an option for the 77 but never made it to production. Any one know what they are talking about or have photo - I could not find one...

Factory glass tops will not fit your 77 without using the 78-82 receivers.

The aftermarket providers will be able to ship them without getting them broken.

Factory glass tops sits a little high at the halo panel. Trying to get them flush will break them.

Moonroofs were aftermarket tops.

Not sure if Moonroofs are back in production or someone has NOS, but check it out!

I called them, they are acrylic so not sure how well they will hold up. What do you guys think. Better off with real glass?
