Another new old guy
Been lurking for a while and decided to start participating!
I've got an 07 vert (AO) and I'm considering adding a Smoothline removable hardtop. Anyone have any experience with the Smoothline tops? They're kinda pricy... Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I spoke with Smoothline back when I got my Vert. They make a quality piece, but after a review of what I would use it for, I decided that if I needed a top like that, I should get a coupe.
By the way - you might want to fill out your profile - else we think you are some kid jerking us around
(also helps when you want advice)

Welcome from one Old Guy to another.
I checked out their hardtops at Carlisle about a year ago - nice product but a little too expensive for the use I would get out of it. I have a '75 roadster that I bought new with the hardtop and it's only been on the car 3 times - all involving relocations.
Think hard about how much use you plan to get out of it. The C6s ragtop is very tight and well suited for most weather conditions especially if you keep your car garaged.
Save the Wave and welcome

Welcome to the forum . . . I'm another one of the 'old guys' like WayneO out here in the desert.
Why don't you fill out your profile info and location so we can at least pick on where you live ?
If you do a search on Smoothline, there was one in the 'for sale' section about 3 months ago and the last time I looked, it wasn't sold--so if it's close to you, it might be a way to save a few bucks.
Happy Holidays and welcome to the forum - -

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on getting that first post out of the way. Can't help you with the smoothline top, but I'm sure there are others on the Forum who can provide you with some input.
Again, from one old guy to another...welcome.
