Default Body Colored Convertible Tops

Although my current black covertible top is still in pretty good shape, I plan to upgrade to a custom gray convertible top when my 2004 turns 10 in 2014. I saw one on a Montery Red C6 vert that looked great.

It looks like GM is getting in on the action as the picture below shows for the 2011 Grand Sport. Very cool!

got a grey top about 5 years ago from an outfit in LaLa land. I think it looks pretty good.

Convertible tops made with the farbic from Stayfast, Happich, Sunnenland, etc. are available in about 20 different colors so you can come close to matching the color of your car in most cases. I do not think you could do something like "atomic orange" as used on the C6 or "purple pearl" on the C5, or yellow, but reds, maroons, blues, greens, browns, tans and grays are available, along with white and black.

Check with Robbins Tops. Without a doubt the best replacement top out there.
