Cabby gets a new top

[5spoke]

I got $1400 for my near perfect top when I sold it. $180 is an insane deal.

this is the exact look i was gonna go for. what do you all think about me doing it in white to match? or should i just go black?

Def go with black!

[bmwsone01]

what is the usually going rate for one of these?

$200. San jose flea market. Aisle 13.

[ill4noreason]

dam what a deal! how much time money was involved in stripping it down and painting it black? I have a hardtop and would love to color match my vert but I have heard it is very expensive.

fuck black or body colored. Go gray.

[Cabriolet]

f*ck black or body colored. Go gray.

why gray?

[VicSkimmr]

Because going body colored gives you no contrast, and going black gives you too much, IMO. The problem with the hard tops is that there's too much metal and not enough glass. If you go with body color it overwhelms the car (though it does look very 90's). If you go black it usually looks better but makes the car look 2 toned.

If you were leaning towards white, go for a light gray. If you were leaning towards black, go for a darker gray. At least that's what I'd do (and am planning on doing).

if you have a tan interior, get it painted to match!

I'd love to have a hard top, but will probably never find one in my area. I cant imagine the costs to ship one.
