Creating the rear look of a Porsche carrera GT The RK Sport Tonneau covers always sparked my imagination and after watching documentary on the Carrera GT inspired my creative flow.
I was wondering what you guys think of this. This is purely cosmetic and will definitely add weight to the car.
Input - criticism - thoughts are welcome.
even if you wana call it 
To give you a rough idea of what it 'd be is I want to combine the tonneau covers with ...lets say a light bar for when the top is down.

68_RS_SS_Ragtop's (hope you don't mind me posting your car as well)
It 'd look similar to a carrera GT

Its kind of a mute point unless you can find a lite bar, they have been discontinued sometime back. I found a used one by accident and in a year I have only ever found 1 more used on Ebay and the guy won't sell it unless you can send him pristine interior quarter panel trims. But I am all for it, the only reason I have not got the tonneau covers is cost: apx $500 for the unpainted panels NOT including any shipping charges, PLUS the cost of having them painted, PLUS the cost of the lite bar if you can find one, this could easily reach $1500-2000 just to see how it looks.

Bro I am all for custom body work, even if I like it or not. I am into the art and craftsmanship of the work. As long as you dig it who cares what others think.
You want something radical, lol... I was wanting to do suicide lambos on my Vert, but I don't think my boy is up to it anymore.
Here are some pics to give you an idea of what I am talking about. If you want me to delete them let me know

Oh and BTW...
There was a tonneau cover made for 99-03 Mustang verts, it was part of the Black Widow collection. It is on the lines of what you want with the hoop look.
Good luck with it Bro!

I like it but one of the things you have to consider is where will you store it when it is not on the car. Mine is hung on a wall in the garage but we just moved to a condo so that will no longer be an option.

I have a lite bar and tonneau's, but don't use together. I picked up 4 pieces of 90 degree tubing at home depot sleeved 2 together (made 2 hoops) you need to tack a bolt and washer at the bottom of each. Then you drill 4 bolt size holes in tonneau. You can remove hoops quickly for different look. Install rubber grommets if you are OCD. If going painted route use larger diameter tube. If using roll bar padding use smaller tubing. total cost under $20. Guessing the height is the hardest part of the job

No real progress has been made. I bought tonneau covers from someone on ebay but they showed up both cracked! The guy says they were fine and I broke em. Its been in dispute via ebay for last month and no real results.
I found a wing at local yard for $70, its sitting at my apartment for almost 3 weeks now.
This wing usually is on imports like this Acura.
