Hard Top For Verts?

Wow! I wonder if they would let verts run without a roll bar at track events with one of these???
If so I could see this as being a great option for vert guys, allowing them to not cut up the back trim panels for the down bars.
I'm pretty sure the OE hard tops are allowed on roadster type cars in lieu of a roll bar, I do not know if aftermarket ones are.

Kind of has a weird look to it, with the smaller rear glass :shrug:
The rear glass looks strange. I'm not liking it as designed. You also have the problem of storage since it would have to be removed and stored in your garage, or similar. I think if the rear glass were not convertible sized I'd like it more. JMO.
No they won't. I wanted to run my S2000 at VIR and I had the factory hardtop, so OEM Honda, and they would still have required me to run a roll bar.
I wonder how much it weighs and where the rear attachment points are. I wonder if the $1400 base price includes all hardware. Then you have to have it primed and painted I would imagine. I paid $3,000 for my Honda one, and it only weighed 44 pounds with back glass and all.
:xpl:
Weighed 65 pounds.
I see that now along with the rear window being plexiglass. Not really sure what this buys you, unless it really does help with rigidity.
Sweet!!!!
That's a good idea, they just need to make one with a fullsized rear window. That small one looks like shit!
Not a fan.. I think the side windows look weird too and the rear window is definitely not right..
This. I am ok with the sides, I actually kind of like then, but the rear is crap.
I`ve seen pics of one that looks almost like the factory hard top. Wish I could remember who made it.
There was a factory one available as an option from Ford in '95 (I believe). I almost bought one last year.
almost bought it for what car?
I think there is another company that made them, they were between $2-2300 and had real glass
u got any info on it?
I'd bet if you bought it for your new edge that it wouldn't fit right. I say this from experience. I am not just guessing this. When I attempted to fit my saleen tonneau cover made for an 01 Saleen it would not fit an sn95 cobra properly because believe it or not there is a difference in the dimension of the bootwell from SN95 to New Edge. If the Hardtop you refer to slides under the black convertible trim like a tonneau cover which I presume it does, you will have a big gap just like I experienced with the tonneau cover.
In the pic I see two rear attachments they are two little hooks
along with the two hooks in the front it doesnt look very rigid or secure to me
I vote FAIL on this one :kaboom:
