Default Carbon fiber top for 1988 gt vert? (or other removable hard top)

I am just wondering if there is such a thing.

I'm not saying I don't like being able to drop the top in seconds, but last night I was playing with my dog in the car and noticed how ugly and industrial looking the mechanics for the ragtop are in the rear seat.

I mean how cool would it be to take that out (and have room for speakers/storage)have more room, and know that people can't just stab the top to get access to your vehicle?

Besides, the ragtop material on older vehicles, or older ragtops is ugly :\

I doubt I will find one in as good condition as the 5.0 I have.

Are you drunk posting? I never asked for suggestions on buying a new car....hmm....

Drunk posting? I wish... As far as your dillema, you really need to leave the carbon fiber top idea to the ricers. You can fab one up yourself out of fiberglass. That would be your best bet. Check www.foxmustangrestorations.com I can't see the site because I only have limited internet access, but according to the google search that might be what you are looking for.

Your welcome... now send me some beer so I can start drunk posting. Coors cutters don't work too well for that.

I've got some 49.5 % schnapps.

They are $1 for, about 1 shot.
