zimmy709 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 yea, i cut a bit much... but it'll be glassed back in a little, i wanted to make a flat junction between the new and old glass, instead of a corner. plus those damned rectangles had to go!

BrIaN EG2 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 yeah it looks pretty badass man, have fun i think i like it so much because its different. it kind of looks like something that would be on a race car, pretty sweet IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimmy709 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 thanks for the compliments guys! Hopefully i will be doing most of the glassing tomorrow... i had a lot of glassing to do on the lip at the bottom, it was pretty beat up so that took up a lot of time today. But it's to bed for now... here's another shot for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airjordan223 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 pretty damn close. i think i like the PS one because it has a bit of a angle in towards the top rather than just square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrIaN EG2 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 sorry to go off topic but where did you get yours? probally the group buy on SS h-u-h? i really want a blue tint for mine after i get the swap for the sol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimmy709 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 sorry to go off topic but where did you get yours? probally the group buy on SS h-u-h? i really want a blue tint for mine after i get the swap for the sol i bought my del sol with the top back in '03, that top is the reason why i bought this del sol. LOVE the top. my guess is the original owner ordered it from ameripol, as i am the third owner of the car, and the guy i bought it off of said it came with the top.

Kastigir Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I don't know...I really don't like the idea of my FMIC being exposed like that. Not my cup of tea. My FMIC will be protected by black mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
