Canvas or Vinyl
I am going to need a new top for my red '90. It has a tan top now but I think I will change it to black. From info I gathered from other post, I checked out Ebay and found some new tops in the $170-$240 range. Other than the material what are the differences in vinyl and canvas? I guess I can't tell whats on mine now. What was originally put on the car? The tops I looked at were made by "EZ ON AUTO TOP COMPANY". Anyone had any experience with this brand?

I suggest canvas. Black is a great color forRED (hehe - see my pics).
I also suggest you consider doing the glass window version.

My 95 came with canvas, my 1964 Chevelle had vinyl. Canvas looks better, the only modern GM car I would put a vinyl convertable top on would be a GEO Metro VERT. However, I still would not drive it.
