Anyone make their own T-top shades?
I'm gettin' ready to make a few up for myself, and was looking for some 
from anyone that made their own already. Pics would be great, along with maybe what kinda material you used and if you used any type of insulation in them. I'm looking to insulate mine. Haven't decided with what yet, so I'm just looking for ideas.
Thanks in Advance,
Tom

I used 1/4" plastic coated foamboard from Hobby Lobby and cut to fit larger than the opening. The board is sandwiched between the t-top and interior seal. Then covered in headliner material from Joann Fabrics. Total costs of $30, made a HUGE difference in the interior and looks factory. Easy to remove when needed. I'll try to get some pics...

Re: Anyone make their own T-top shades?
can you post a picture of those in direct sunlight looking from the inside out to something like a building?? I have been thinking about doing that myself and I just want to be sure i'd be happy with them afterwards.
thanks, a comparison pic would be great too
