    I have one of the early ones from the prior person selling them (Mike Kelly?) but made by the same company.

    Jeff Kleiner painted it with my car and has posted some photos etc. I love the finished product. I used through bolts on the rear instead of their clamps (a corvette piece) but it works well.

    The fit was off as received. The rear profile was the correct shape, but it was almost as though the roof was at the wrong angle. If you sat the rear down on the car then the front was 1" or so above the windshield. If you aligned the front to the top of the windshield then that held the rear up. Jeff did some surgery to fix it.

    frd2,
    Do you leave the hard top on or was your plan to take it off and on as desired?
