Hmmm...great idea, but I have another. Any way you could make this thing fit on top of a hardtop car...kinda like a 'skin' so to speak...similar to the black rear facia panel thats available for C5 vettes that don't want to paint the buttom of the bumper? Reason I ask is because I like how this piece looks, and it would also solve many of the problems the hardtop cars have with the bubbling roofs.

Definitely subscribing. This thing has alot more potential on a Pontiac than a Camaro!

Photochop I believe he mentioned that earlier in the thread, I may be wrong though. But in pages 2-4 I think I read something along those lines.

Doesn't Brian2006 have the red bowtie? I think he just put a vinyl in or something?
I could be wrong but I thought I remember him saying this

The first picture and ONLY the first picture was a photoshop. All the others have no editing of any kind...

Once in production we could easily sell you just the skin. You'd have to cut out your roof and replace it with this though. I don't think you could just glue it on top like you're talking about due to aerodynamics...

Top will have an inner metal frame. Studs (or threaded inserts) will allow our bracket to be attached and then, to save you guys money, you bolt your factory t-top hardware on to our bracket...

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR FACTORY T-TOPS. All is reversible

Unless you choose to cut the t-bar out

I think it is really easy... Like t-topping one of our cars but even easier from what I have heard...

With a black splitter and black manta (white roof, black stripe) it would look even better

I think the Impala used a red bowtie... I know it is out there because they used it on the Hot Rod cars...

Cant wait to see it on a TA. I am building my WS6 for 95% race and 5% street so rain wont be a problem. Just hope it would take the abuse of wheel stands and such. Also if this is lighter than the t-tops, then the drag guys would be all over this!
Great ideas! Keep em coming!
