Look of a convertible with top up?
Look of a convertible with top up? Do you like how your F body looks with the top up? Every I seem to talk to hates it... but they say down it looks OK...
Its grown on me...

I prefer it with the top down with the tonneau cover, but I don't mind how it looks with the top up. I think the reason being is that because the black top matches with the black exterior of the car and the tinted windows. The color combination has more to do with it than the actual shape, for me anyway. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Here is what mine looks like with the top up (and yes I got rid of the Firebird wheels soon after buying the car).

funny thing is alot of people have never even noticed my car was a convertible so obviously it must not look that bad with the top up but i believe alot of that does have to do with the fact that it is a black top...if it were white or tan it would stick out like a sore thumb

I never have heard a negative comment. Top up is certainly a unique ride since there are so few on the road. I voted 'It's OK' for your poll.
Top down with tonneau cover is another story. Just killer style and looks. I've even won a few trophies at car shows which always stuns me when there are really nice old cars present. Most people really like it.

Sorry, Tan, no I wasn't feeling it like the black.
And yep, I think top down does rule, especially at the track or the beach, but No I think these cars like great with the top up, especially with the right color combo.

I WISH they had came up with a way to make them do like the g6 hardtop convertible...... top-up looks almost like a hardtop.
The new hardtop convertibles look great compared to the old soft tops.
Engineering one of these new contraptions is a colossal task. It looks like the top is designed first, then the rest of the car around it.
