NEW Vert top needed

Merkstang · May 22, 2005

In need of a NEW top... I want to Go with a Black CLOTH (like the 03 cobras)

I think the Black will look really great, My car is a Pace car but with the high milage of 97K and my other mods its not the primary issue to keep the tan top.

the tan Cloth would look better than the stock old top in the to p pic but the BLACK really sets the car off!!

its a hike, but in belmont ma, i got my top, and glass replaced and installed for 500. damn good deal considering the glass is like 300, top is 180, basically free labor. of course its not cloth, but he did great work.

the black looks great! i have a cloth top (from electron tops), and i love it, but the fitment is not great. it may be that whoever installed it just butchered it, but the passenger window catches when the door is closed with the window all the way up, and the water drips in behind the place where it is supposed to, so it runs down the inside and collects under the carpet in the back. i figured out how to get around the problem tho, so that is not an issue any more.

i suspect it was the installation. the top had been replaced before i bought the car.

i am not bashing electron tho, because i don't know if it is the top or the installation.

juiced_94gt · May 23, 2005

a local guy here in california, he charged me 300 for the install and worth every penny he did a good job and he said it was a perfect fit.

i will look into that for you today.

I got my top from topsonline.com and did the install myself. Wasn't too hard, but if I had the money I probably would have paid someone to do it. In the greater philly region it's gonna be around $400-$500 most places you go.

There's a shop in Willow Grove, PA, right off of the Willow Grove exit on the turnpike called Willow Grove Auto Top and they do great work. They get all of the dealership jobs in the area and I've even seen lambo's and other exotics in the parking lot. One of the old owners was my neighbor and he's since sold out to his partner, but the quality of work has remained the same. Number is 215 659 3276. Good luck

I think the front splitter is Shinoda, and the side skirts are SVO side exhaust.
