If your car doesn't leak now, it won't leak with our roof... You reuse your factory hardware and weatherstripping...

Yeah but you'll have to basically do a t-top conversion first...

Mark, have you thought of alternative locations to put the roof? Maybe some brackets on the floor behind the seat so that you dont have to do a seat delete or something like that?

So, we're near production on our roof... Check this thread out:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...1#post10146105

Here's a sneak preview of the thread...

"So, my friend Neil said, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we could make a Targa Top for our cars that looked like the roof of the C6 and new Camaro?"

I said, "I don't know, photoshop it for me." He said, "Here you go..."



I thought about it and said, "Let's do it..." and we did...

Here's some teasers...

CARBON FIBER:









Hardware isn't attached yet but you get the idea. I hope to have this in hand next week (more than likely the following week though) to take good pics and show how it will install and start working on storage.
