Default Tonneau?

I was wondering if there is a tonneau/lid made for the 98-02 Camaros?
What I am referring to is the cover that Saleen uses on their Mustang convertibles. Does anyone know of something similar that could be put onto a Camaro?

I was told that I should probably re-ask my question in here. Now that I've realized there is a convertible section that makes me say, "Duh." Heh, anyway I already know there is one sold through RK Sport that looks like it's a two-piece? Does it cover the folded top or the seats or both?

Are there any others?

Yes that is the one I was talking about. So does this mean that it is the only one made for the car?

or Ebony (00-02):
- LH: 10431845
- RH: 10431846

Center cover (Neutral - 96-02) - 10294887
or Graphite (94-99) - 10294886
or Ebony (00-02) - 10431843

Latch panel (Graphite - 94-02) - 10246558

Storage Bag (94-02) - 10193284

Nut for latch release link (94-02) (need 2 of these) - 10493869

Whoops Pardon my misinformedness. GM specifically called it a 'tonneau cover', so I assumed it was something that was in the same category as the aftermarket ones.

GM charges a butt load for the stock cover. They are over $500 if you buy it from them. You might want to check Ebay.

They are really cool, but if you put a cage in you will either have to go with a bolt in cage or cut the cover. And I can't race it at the track without a cage.

Try another track. In my area I have one track that kicks me out but another one has never said a word. Going for 10's this season.

This is however test and tune only, they probably would have a problem if I tried to bracket race.

as far as I've read, there are new ihra rules for this year, including going up to 11.49 I think with a stock 'vert without a roll cage, though if I was going that fast I'd prolly want a cage anyway. I think it says you do need a ds loop though. Check the ihra rules, I think theyr'e posted on the ned site and the lvd site (www.dragway.com)
