Default I can flip lids!

Thanks to member msj2222! He sold me an Arctic White top for my coupe. Now I have the best of both worlds. He was really good to deal with and knew where the roof was at any moment during it's delivery.

Here it is:




He goes to show there are great members on this board.

Default top

Bought one on eBay, now having it painted to match (mag red). Its cool to be able to change the LQQK a bit...


Any trouble fitting it?

Congrats, I've got the painted and would like to have the clear also. Trouble is, I've got more wants than I do cash.

Looks great! I like the look of the painted top. Unfortunately, as soon as I'm ready to buy a red top, i blow the cash on something else!

Your car looks really good. Like the solid top on the white.

Thanks, gang. I couldn't be happier with it.

The only issue is with the weatherstripping on the top of the roof (car side) not fitting really snug in one spot. I'm sure it's due to fitting the countour of the original top for so long. The new top seats a little different, and probably just doesn't rest in exactly the same spot. It was tougher to put on, so I'm sure that's all it is.

I'm so broke right now that I really needed one in the right color.

Thankfully, that happened.

just wondering if you figured out the problem with the weatherstrip, it looked mint when I examined it, maybe it needs to break in?? Let me know if I can do anything, Good Luck, Mike

It's just the strip that's attached to the body of the car. I've been so busy at work, that I haven't been able to check it the last couple of days. I'm thinking that side of the top, the peg, just needs adjusting to snug it down better. I love it, though, and it looks great!!
