Default Convertible Question

I don't know if I was dreaming, or actually saw a picture of a C5 convertible with greatly accentuated "humps" that contour the seat backs? I guess you'd call it the toneau cover. I have the "hoops" but I think I'd rather have the different toneau cover it there is such thing.

I've seen some that looked to be stick on. Your hoops look better.

I've seen them on a Vette or two here on the Forum, but I don't remember who they are. They are actually a replacement lid I believe. Someone will chime in hopefully.

Hmmm, I'm not sure the vert top's internal cover that covers the storage compartment lid will accommodate those big humps.

Anybody have on of those aftermarket compartments installed that can clarify this?

There are some ones that you stick on. But if you must do it, get the Caravaggio deck lid.

Thanks all! It was the Caravaggio deck lid I'd seen somewhere. It looks pricy ($1700)! I wouldn't want anything that sticks on, so I'll probably keep my "hoops".
Cheers
