Convertible Hard Top Porn

Guys, I'm convinced I want a hardtop for my E30 vert.

I've found a nice one, pretty sure I'm gonna score it.

Convince me I want this. Picture thread, go!

You want it, just do it. Don't be stupid

Vivek, what did you do to make that hardtop body color? Or did you buy it that way? I reall like that, couldn't tell you had that on the 318 from your sig!

E: forgot that since hardtops have ACTUAL GLASS WINDOWS I can tint my windows all down to 5% If I get one...that may be reason enough alone.

Love the hard top smoothed. Its a tonne of work, but it looks amazing when done right.
I was thinking of doing that to mine, but installing a fixed sunroof into it first.

It's not body color, it's just black. The PO did it, but i believe the process is remove all the canvas, sand/remove the adhesive in some way, probably bondo the whole thing and sand with a guide coat (i believe that's what its called), which it seems like the PO didn't do, then primer and paint. It does look very, very good though, and it wouldn't be too much work now to smooth the whole thing and repaint it.
