Default Convertible boot
Where in the world do i find a new boot for my firebird?!?! The cover that goes over the convertible when the top is down. I bought my car about a year ago, and never realized i didnt have one, until i was looking at some other camaros/firebirds and noticed they had theirs. Help!!??

IMHO, I never have the time to put mine on, just leave it off, unless you have extra $ to burn...ymmv.

Try Year One or the Paddock performance and restoration. I never even use mine after I bought a tonneau cover,

Yeah unless you find one cheap, not really worth the hassle.

They look great when on, but after having to get out to assemble/dissasemble the damn thing a few times, you'll just stop putting it on.

search on boot or tonneau cover in here or the for sale section. A few come on the market every once in a while. They normally go for less than $300.

Agree. I wanted them bad until after I got them. Now I never use them.
