Default T-Top Group Buy
Gen 4 T-tops Group Buy

I want to make T-Tops for the 93-02 Camaro so I need some feedback to see how much interest is out there.

We've made them for the MR2
Here's a pic



Group Buy Pricing Would Be $500 plus $60 Shipping US 48

Let me know what you think!

Yes, they would replace the glass in the t-tops. You'd use the OEM hardware and the CF inserts

No, we don't make the hardware. The t-tops are made to fit right into the glass openings on the existing top

I don't know how much the stock glass weighs to compare, but the CF panels only weigh a couple pounds. As for locks, the panels are made to work with all the OEM parts from your existing T-Tops

That is pretty much a BAMF way to drop some weight. Really nice.

Any Idea on how stable these would be at high speeds? Like 150 or so.

They fit like OEM so I would say better than glass as they won't chip or crack like glass will

What are you using around the border of the tops? The OEM t-tops use a rubber border.

You would use the stock weather strip but again we have to get enough interest to make these before we start working out all the details.

I'm referring to the rubber that is glued to the glass all the way around the top. This is what keeps the top snug inside the center channel of the t-bar. Not the weatherstripping.

Good point. Since we have not made these yet that is an issue that we will have to work out during test fitting. Thank you for pointing that out!
