very nice, is that a glass rear window?
My 88 Iroc is gonna need one soon, and im considering getting one with the glass window.

How much did that run ya for the top, and for installation?

It's actually the plastic window. I have a garage for it, so I wasn't worried about the fogging in the morning. I spent around $900 installed for it. I saw the posts where I could have gotten the top alone for around $300 or so, but I knew I didn't want to mess with installing it myself, so I just went ahead and let the shop that repaired the top on my Corvette do it. I've got a 5 year warranty on it, so I'm overall satisifed with it. Definately looks great. I took it in at 8am in the morning and they were done with it by 4

*Edit... I did go with the cloth top, not the vinyl. I have always thought the cloth looked much better

Black looks much better.
Fits nice and tight around the back where it meets the body. I wish mine did

Looks really good, glad you went with a black top. I think tan tops just don't look right, and they seem to get dirty. And props on going with cloth to, vynal tops just look cheap.

I like the tan top with a tan interior.... THe Black is universal and sets off the other black highlights on the car though...
