looks good, is that GM weatherstripping? did you buy the whole kit, or just the 2 pieces that run from door jam through the T-tops to the behind where the door closes? Any info would be great.

Hey I wonder what it would look like if you painted the center bar white to match the car. The part the t-top edge sits under. Here is a shot of mine. I painted the center and the 2 side t-top trim pieces red to match the car. Just a thought!

wow, thanks for the input guys
yes the weatherstripping i bought were the 2 peices that u described. i also bought the rear hatch weatherstripping too. i got them from www.yearone.com
redraif, yours looks good because u have red all over like on the tail lights and stuff. but i think i may keep mine black to blend in with the t's
thanks bub

Wow that ttop bar looks really good.
Bub, you should have the sides of your ttops photoshoped in white, i think that would look cool.

to replace the weatherstripping was not that hard. i just followed mike meyers (wickedcamaro?) instructions to do it. sorry but i printed them out a while ago and not too sure where i found them on thirdgen.org. all u need is to be good with a caulk gun and a second person.
