Quick question: why did you go with the front oem catchers vs front brackets and what is your experience so far with the route you went with? Thanks
I did end up going with the front brackets front Rockstar. They were installed that same day. My phone died before I was able to snap those shots.
The one piece design for the front fits perfect.

Looking sweet. Would love a
Second top


Since these dont have defrosters, will there be a problem with fogging up?

the material we use for our windows is twice as thick as any other hardtop mfg uses.

this material is also commonly used with airplanes and jets which fly in high altitudes where condensation and cold weather is the constant. if they dont have the issues, neither should you

What's the weight on that replica?
its about 15 lbs fully assembled.. a few lbs lighter then the authentic top with the glass window.
Do you have weight of FRP vs. single sided vs. double sided? These look great, going to have to decide which one to get.
