Default Corvette Central Targa Top

Hello all. Looking for some opinions, positive or negative, on the Corvette Central blue acrylic targa top. Price is around $1300. Mine is in rough shape on my 98. Thank you for any replies.

If anyone knows of a better top from another vendor please feel free to share.

Thank you Stingroo. Looks like a quality set up. Did you go with the refurbished top? Looks great. I assume it seals well.

Admittedly, insurance paid for it in full (thanks $0 comp deductible) after I became a member of the FRC. I assume it's new. It looks it.

You might try contacting Corvette Central and see if they can tell you the maker of the top - they have to source it from someone. I have heard or Melrose Tops and have seen samples at Bloomington Gold before. Looked like quality tops.
