Default got my ttops on

well took me about 3 or 4 days working on it for 2-3 hours a day. The drivers side which i did first took the longest, but once i got the hang of it the pass side came off without any problems at all. I still need to get some body filler and get it primed and painted.

Pretty cool. You make me feel guilty. I take my T's for granted and hardly ever take them out... and here you are doing a transplant. Good job.
