These look really nice. What are the color ranges? Does the 850ish price include the hardware or is that separate?

Well,
The smoke charcoal (same as the ones previously produced is the stock $850 build. I can get green ,Red, yellow a rose smoke color ,and I'm sure there are a few others. What it means is that I have to be able to get the material you want in a reasonable cost Each roof takes a full sheet due to the size. The shipping for the smoke will be divided among the entire lot of them. If I can source the the colored material at the same place them we can add in. The 1st ones for prototype are going to be clear.

The hardware is just that. It can use stock hardware to attach, we did make version of the latch that worked, but it costs to make them so we broke them out to hold the costs down.

@Mikey914

How do you adapt to the early and late rear targa latches? The distance between the locating bumps is different. The rubber blocks that fit into them are also different the height and width to match the lower latch.
I know if you put an early top on a tale car it will shift side to side.

Shims and foam block, can be as easy as big washers. It's not much.

Thanks for clarifying and sounds really cool. I have a silver car so smoke is probably the right one unless there is a silver version! Really glad you are making these.

I'm pretty sure I'd be game for this.

How do I get you to make one for the 911 targa (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Smoke charcoal was the original way we made them the somke amber is what the other company used. We chose the charcoal as it was able to look better with more colors. Think clear black.

Yes see the one on my Alaska Blue. With white interior.
If you look at the seats you can see the light coming through make the white have a blue tint.

Yes we can, they are a decent size so shipping isn't super cheap. If you visit your friend I'd use some silk tape to make handles on the box and call it a checked bag.
Either way I'm sure we can ship, as we have sent one to Germany last round.
