997 Speedster Look (Delavilla Humps)
I purchased the Delavilla Hardback Kit from Suncoast in late winter and since had them painted up and mounted on the car. (see Avatar)
I'll admit.... I like the look a lot. It may be the novelty right now but regardless it changes the look of the car I think for the better.
I did see a display at Suncoast before I bought, so I knew what I was getting into. They reduced the price from the original $3k to $2200 so I took the plunge. It cost me another $550 to paint the panels to match so I managed to keep it under $3k.
I'm terrible at posting pictures, however I'm willing to answer any questions on my experience with this kit. I'd add that the biggest selling point for me was that the install doesn't require any alteration to the car, and removing it takes about a minute... putting back to the original CAB.
Fire away with questions, and opinions of the look....good or bad!

Didn't seem to post, what's the issue you run into? Are you uploading directly to the forum?
Alternatively, post to flickr and share the album link.

SToronto,
I'm using Photobucket. I've got a few decent pics from different angles, but putting it frankly "I suck at this"! I'll keep working on posting the pics, but don't hold your breath!

Photobucket does most of the work for you. To the right of your image are several "links to share this photo" boxes. Usually when I click in one of the boxes the text is automatically copied. Pasting the "direct" text will give us a link to your picture like this...
http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9331ded1.jpg
Pasting the "IMG" text will display it in your post like this...
I've circled the two relevant boxes for you. Good luck.

Hope these pics go thru!
EDIT..... Apparently I'm doing something wrong! Next step... the computer goes as far as I can throw it out the window!

What happens when out and about and out of the blue a rain shower comes suddenly? Can it be stowed away somehow?

Breaking Bad, Thanks for posting the pics!
ADias,
You should plan to use it only on sunny days.
However:
It's a 3 piece unit, 2 painted body panels and the black main beam. It takes only a minute to dismantle. The "clam shell" secures the back of the painted panels.
Raising the clam shell ( raising the top ) releases the panels for removal and you can then continue to put the top up. The black "main beam" stays in place.
The panels will fit in the passenger seat area but it wouldn't be a comfortable ride home.
