The t-top pods are the ones youll need, but youll have to cut off the top of it, exactly like the stock ones that are on your convertible. Remember, these were origonally t-top cars, all ASC did is cut off the top of the factory piece... if you look at the upper edge, youll see what Im talking about.

I've searched forever and cant find anyone who makes a full a-pillar replacement - just add-on pods. Anyone know of a full pillar manufacturer?

Doesn't Autometer make them? I see them in Summit listed for T-tops. 2 or 3 pod, full pillars as well.

Later,

Chris

Just found the web site for you. Their list price is 58.90. Made by Autometer.
http://www.bugsandbuggies.com/vdo_ac...p=chevy_camaro If you can't get there from here just make sure you type the hole address and it will take you were you need to go. Hope this helps. You will need to click on their email to ask them about the year of you car.
