Hard "Tonneau" Covers?
Does anyone have one of these for their 'vert? Pictures? Place to find/buy them?
I am talking about the hard "plastic" paintable covers that go on when the top is down and they cover up the back seat, making the car seem like a 2-seater.
I have seen them for 4th Gens, but don't know if they make them for 3rd Gens or if they do, where to find them.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

its good only for looks.
its not strong enough to support anything. it doesnt even bolt into anything strong. it has nothign to keep it from folding forward or backward.. and it has nothing in the middle to keep it from folding in.

this guy at the World on Wheels car show at the Edward Jones Dome in st louis had a SWEEEET '91 Z28 convertible. he made a fiberglass tonneu cover that was completely flat and covered the back seats. it looked really good b/c the car was yellow with black stripes and the cover was matched PERFECTLY. and the best part was that it was a 305 TWIN TURBO....5 SPD....yea yea....it was sweet he didn't have any roll bars/cages though, still looked incredible though...i wish i had a picture of it

Yea look on ebay, it will only take you a couple of years just to find one. There are very few custom cosmetic parts for our cars even on ebay.

Last time I looked I didn't see any, but the messed up thing about ebay is you could have 50 of them there but if you don't hit on the right search term, you are screwed.
