That's nice. Will it fit in the trunk so it can be taken with you? It doesn't look like it does. How much will it cost, if you don't mind me asking?

looks cool, curious on price and if it'll include the weatherstripping. I assume it'll have some kind of bar to secure into place like the stock ones, even if it doesn't have the actual keylock.

I would like to see the finished product as well; I never take my t-top off.

Pricing is not for the faint of heart. This is a pure CF piece (not just CF on wood or foam) for strength and safety so cost to make is high.

We're shooting for (won't know for sure for a month) $1200 shipped for the top. If we can lower the price we will but the main thing killing us is:

CF prices right now (and it uses a lot to make this nice)
T-Top Hardware (bankrupt GM isn't making it and we have to buy t-tops and bust them )
Shipping (not heavy but big and requires protection)

However, it is still only about $200 more than most people pay for a t-top conversion. We plan to include conversion pieces (not just the top) short of a headliner at that price.

Again, all is soft and up in the air right now...

How do you plan on attaching the center section so it doesn't leak. The advantage of the stock T-top is the wedge design helps keep the top fastened in the center.
