Default Need new top

I need a new top for my 99' coupe. Mine has almost completely delaminated, and its driving me nuts. After a little searching i found this site www.astrotops.com . I have never heard anything about these and was wondering if anyone knew of the quality.

I think AstroTops are OK, but why not try and find a mint top on the C5 Parts for Sale section first. Some good buys there - especially if you can find one within a reasonable distance and go look at it personally.

Otherwise, you can also consider getting a replacement from a place like Mid-America or even from Gene at the KarShop.

Was looking at astrotops because of the price and its within driving distance. I don't want to go through the hassle of shipping a top, or shipping mine back for a core charge, but it might come down to that. Thanks for the reply.
