Changed top color

[jblood37]

I just wanted to share a couple pics of my car before with the original parchment top and after with a used black top I picked up. I think it made a huge difference in appearance.

Before:

After:

One with my SSRs just for the heck of it. Will be selling the BBS shortly:

One of when I picked the car up originally:

I've done quite a bit to the car since I bought it, but I think changing tops has been my favorite mod so far. Next on the list is a detail/buff. I hope to do that in the next couple weeks. Still have a lot left that needs to be done.

I agree the black top makes a big difference.

Did you do the work yourself? Curious how challenging it was to do if you did.

Yes I did. You will need one other person to help lift the top out after you've removed everything holding it in. The black top was on a frame so it was very easy. It took about 3 or 4 hours to complete. I found a really nice how to before I started that showed every bolt that needed to come out.

Not sure. I'm going to try to sell locally first, but if that doesn't work I'll be posting them up here. :thumbsup:

Same here. I've only heard of a few here who love them.

Thanks! Maybe I can get it out in town before long.

One of those is me! However.... I looked at a black/parchment vert and didn't love it. I'd never own it, but black on black just looks better! For you, a good switch sir :beer:

Love it. Totally changed the look of the car.

10,000% better!! Cant stand tan tops on anything! nice improvement

 

[CobraBob]

Great color choice for the top. Looks much better IMO.

MarkOPKS, I knew we had a few parchment lovers around here haha! Thanks for the kind words guys!

 

[timspony]

Very nice change!

 

[JetmechF16]

Major improvement, looks great with the black top!

Personally I like the parchment top more. I most likely would never change to a parchment top if I owned a black top convertible, but if I bought a parchment top car I would leave it as it.

Either way, nice looking car. I love both wheels.

Everyone is different. That's why they offered the parchment tops in the first place I reckon. At first I had doubts about changing the top color in order to keep it somewhat original, then I said screw it, there is almost nothing on the car that's factory haha. Thanks!

this post makes me sad
The parchment top cars were very rare, very few made. I also happen to think it looks better as well.

I undersatnd the car is highly modified, but man, that just makes me sad to see. Hope you atleast saved the top.
