I personally like the cobra spoiler on a convertible. I think it looks pretty sweet. But who am I and what do I know ....

Contrary to what lots of boneheads were telling young Ryan when he bought it, this car was never dead! Nice work!

That old swiss cheese top was such a major eye sour. It's looking a lot better. Can't wait to see the auto body and paint process

He may be referring to the fact that while the top looks good now, it is a cheap replacement top and may not look great after a few years. We don't have the car destroying weather down here that ryan does up there.

it's not a cheap top....thicker then the org. top....the guy who did my top said that the top we have was by far one of the tightest one he has worked with on a mustang..WHICH is a good thing...tighter the top the better...

got started on the body...picked up a rust free deck lid today from you pull it for 35 bucks...cant beat that.

All of the into you get is he said she said bs. My info is experience. My sister had the same top on her car. An original top or a more expensive top is nicer, I have seen both.

Not sayin it doesn't look good. Just be realistic with yourself.

Alright dude. I never said it was a POS, dont put words in my mouth. All I was doing was saying that a lower quality top may look good for a while, but will deteriorate quicker than a higher quality top. It has nothing to do with the installer, and you dont know anymore about the top than anyone else because A. it came with the car, and B. you haven't seen a very nice factory one next to a plastic windowed harbor freight re-pro.

I have a very good reason to be on edge and all these immature threads that have been popping up lately (most are not from you surprisingly enough) are really starting to get old. This thread is fine btw.

Have it your way. It looks good ryan, don't mind me. It'll probably last as long as you have the car.
