He posts a lot of positive things, I think he means it in a good way. I think that looks great, would look cool on a blacked out Z28.

I hate the CF look, but on a positive note the fitment of that panel looks fantastic!

It's great that 6LE has stepped up to make us panels since GM won't do it. I'm looking forward to the next generation of regular fiberglass panels that are supposed to be even better than the first.

I think that 6LE mentioned before that the new sail panels could be mated with his targa panel (with some obvious fiberglass filler inbetween) for hardtop replacement. This seems like it would take a really good body shop that does great custom work with fiberglass in order to come out nice though.

It would be great if a full replacement panel were produced, but the low percentage of hardtop cars combined with the higher cost of reproducing the larger panel will probably prevent anyone from offering it.

My post was referring to carbon fiber panels, but thanks. Already knew that. I'd be fine with that in the long run, since I can get 6LE parts at a slight discount. It's just much easier to hope for a carbon fiber hardtop than to make it happen.
