just a thought of an idea i wanted to do, but am kinda on the fence now that i will have a garage (getting the hardtop, maybe next group buy), i was thinking about getting the carbon fiber 3m and lining the inside/underside of the hardtop. i bet it would look great considering it doesnt have to be real carbon since light will rarely hit the inside, it should make for a nice detail when inside the car though, just a thought

Thats not to bad of an idea. I know some people get some wide fabric and use 3M high strength adhesive and make a headliner out of that. I dont know how it will hold over time with heat though.
I know that one guy in the interior section did tons of parts including his dash in the 3M carbon vinyl and it looks bad ass. I'm sure it would hold pretty good if you do it right, and if it doesnt, its as easy as peeling it all off.
BTW, I re-did my rear seal today, and it looks ALOT better. There are still no leaks or anything but it seems like its sealed on there alot better now. Thanks again to spyder562 for the pic! I'll post some pics tomorrow of how it looks now since its already dark here.

I'm also in for painted pics 
Yeah it will be later next month until paint
but time has been flying by so I suppose it wont be to bad. I'm starting to lean towards doing it all a gloss black. I saw a pic of a silverstone with it all black and it looked really nice. Plus I want to be a little different from everyone that does the 2 tone top. It will also look nice with the tinted rear window and all new upgraded seals.
