Default New Glass window top Installed - Inside pics added

Sorry about the crappy phone pics.





I'm really impressed with the fit.
Got a clear 3rd brake light I need to install also..

Rough way to get a new top, but that looks really good! I'd also like to see the "inside" pics.

Default Marc, could you please let us know which dealer did the intallation, and how much?

I'm probably going to need a new top within a year, and would like to replace with a GAHH. I usually service my car at Jack Daniels in NJ.

Thanks in advance.

That is a glass window, GAHH makes the top. The window is smaller than the plastic one but I kinda like the look. Quality seems very good.

Default Then could you tell me what Dealer in NJ did it for you?

Looks like they did a great job of installing it. I'd want to take it to the same place. Please PM me if you don't want to name the dealer on this site. Thanks!

Marc-
I agree with the others, the inside pics would be great. The window looks set low from the outiside, which gives it a kind of cool "speedster" low bow top look, but I"m wondering if it impedes vision from rear view mirror.

It is definitely a good look. Also, you can probably see the aluminum roll bar easier with the top up from the outside. Things only a few will notice, but the ones you want to notice!

As promised some inside pics
Took them tonight with a flash.
The headliner is the same stock factory one from the old top.
