Went to Houston last weekend to pick up my new hardtop ! :D

Nice! Careful with the old weatherstrip- it could etch the paint on the decklid.

Nice :yesnod: --they make a pad that goes between deck lid and the hardtop--cheap insurance against rubbing--not alot of $ either

I have the black vinyl hardtop that I got with the car. I don't think I'll ever use it, though. From the looks of it, I don't think any of the car's previous owners used it much either--It's near perfect. It's doubtful that I'll even be taking my car out in the rain (intentionally) so it's even doubtful that I'll even have the soft top up.

I bought the car cause it's a convertible darnit!!

It does give the car a different look, though. I might put the hard top on from time to time just to keep the neighbors thinking I've got more than one Vette! :jester

Mine came with a hard top, original one. Here's a pick when it was delivered with top one No dings, weatherstripping and everything including the paint is in perfect condition.


Rarely use it. But if it ever gets cold in San Diego I'm ready.

:lol:

Its even a pretty nice match colorwise. Looks good on your car. I have had my car for over 5 years now and have only had mine on the car one time and that was just to get the car and the top to the painters. :yesnod:
