Nothing of the inside has been made yet but basically just picture sitting in your car with the t-tops on and the shades on.

You're going to do some heat testing so it doesn't bubble, right?

whats going to happen if one of us gets one and the fit is awful? im not saying they will all be off or anything but im sure out of the whole bunch that will be made 1 will be off somewhere. i know of my buddys car we went through 3 hoods before we finally got one that fit halfway decent. i know these are fit for an ls1 car is it going to be any different on an lt1 car?

That is always a problem, since our cars tend to twist allot during time. But it might be as easy as try to twist and bend the part it self.

Then, just like a hood, you adjust it until it fits. I've done enough t-top conversions to know the factory had quite a bit of "tolerance" on these...

Good news is they built in quite a bit of leeway (sp) to adjust them. From the factory the brackets have shims you can remove or add (washers do the same thing) to adjust how the tops, or in this case our roof, fits

I always thought these were the best looking grill/emblem combo.

You need to figure out how to get and sell the bowties with different colored inserts.

Already looked into it, don't have the $10,000 to invest in having it made out of tempered glass...
