FWIW, I was doing a little searching for pictures with a bronze top and discovers this one that has been for sale for a year now!

Can't wait for the new thread on the 17th, "I can't believe how messed up the order system was for Pikington!"

I have a friend that lives ten minutes from the Ohio Pilkington facility where the new tops are distributed; maybe just show up at the door way before Pilkington starts taking phone orders?

The shipping cost maybe my deal breaker but we'll see. I can't believe I've waited 2yrs man I need a life lol. Also those who question the authenticity must not have been watching or read the thread since there are test pictures

I am very happy to see that Pilk decided to make these again.
I think that of the various tints that these can be made in (black/smoke, dark green, blue etc.) I would think that bronze would be the least desired color.
I can't really think of any color car that this would be the best tint.
I think that it would have been wise on Pilk's part to do a poll on Rennlist as to what the most desired tint would be before committing to bronze.
I was initially excited about purchasing these until I realized that the only option was bronze.
Hopefully they will offer another option after the first 100 are sold.
My vote would be black/smoke which goes with most if not all colors.

In my opinion the bronze goes well with the vintage aspect of the car. I have the last version of the saratoga top (before this of course) in bronze and it flows very well with the rest of the car. I would order it in bronze again if there were other options.

Does bronze have anything to do with reflecting the suns rays? Stopping fading and drying of the interior parts? just thinking here. What say all?
