    yes, looks almost as hot as the first time i saw a de-textured hard-top on RyanG's cabby. i do like the roof line on hardtop cabbys more than coupe e30's. just looks sweet.

      Hell yeah - looks tits

      I'd like to see someone get a hard top and mould it into the body of a vert with fiberglass/bondo/whatever to make it a non-vert but still holding that body line.

          Not a fan at all. WAY TOO MUCH of all the same color. I think it would have looked a lot better in gloss black, to play off of the splitter, or the same color as the wheels. I've never been a fan of the "dipped in paint" look.

            Just out curiosity and for the sake of asking probably the same question again, do you own the shop Vlad or do you work there? Or is that shop you have your work done through?

              Oops, he wanted to do two tone and I talked him out of it. I think once the caps are on it will break up the redness.

              BTW, did you pick up the caps? I stopped at JMK and they didnt have them.

                  Very nice man, But I agree with Josh, I think it would have looked much better black.

                  But very clean and badass looking nonetheless.

                    I also think that there is too much red.

                      I think the hardtop would have looked pimp in black as well.

                      Nonetheless it was a slick job you did on the hardtop. Kinda makes me reconsider wanting to strip the rubber skin off and have it painted instead as it looks pretty labor intensive to smooth it out.

                            Looks great and I'm sure it will look even better when these black bits get put on it. You just need to buy another hardtop and paint that one black. There one in Vancouver, BC (Canada) on Craigslist right now. They want $1000 obo I believe.

                              I think it will look much better once the top is actually finished.

                              Vlad, it looks freakin hot!

                                I bet it looks great in person, however I think that black would have been a better way to go..
