Drop Top Customs' Camaro Convertible ready for SEMA 2009 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As featured on Homepage.

Here's a preview of Drop Top Customs' Camaro Convertible SS which will be showing at the SEMA show next month. For anyone interested, this custom conversion costs approximately $18,000. This is the second builder to produce a Camaro convertible. The other was custom built by NCE.

For now, these custom Camaro convertibles will have to do, at least until GM begins producing the 2011 / 2012 production Camaro convertible, which coincidentally, is being shown to dealers for the first time this week.

thejoker1232 · 10-08-2009, 02:48 PM

dang now im so confused do i get the convert or ss or z28 aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh so many choices .... THANKS CHEVY

PQ · 10-08-2009, 02:49 PM

That OnStar fin looks cool on the deck lid like that.

Over all definitely looks bad A$$

C4 · 10-08-2009, 03:01 PM

well im sold
as soon as they take orders
im going to get one

incustody · 10-08-2009, 03:33 PM

Have you all thought of something similar to what Mercedes did with a hardtop convertible option?

KoTToN · 10-08-2009, 03:36 PM

looks good, im just not understanding the reason to go through all the trouble, R&D and funding of this project to sell an $18,000 drop top when GM is realeasing one themselves in a year or so for prob a lot less.

The Dark Knight · 10-08-2009, 03:41 PM

GORGEOUS!

I love it! Totally drop dead gorgeous! Why is GM waiting so long (2011) to release this!!! Why not next year!!!!

yellow1 · 10-08-2009, 03:42 PM

what brand and size wheels?

Tactical Z · 10-08-2009, 03:44 PM

Sexy!!

That car is amazing!

Sir Nuke · 10-08-2009, 04:12 PM

seems its not totally functional......unless they designed functioning rear roll down quarter window.....that or your only going to be driving it on sunny days.

Chocolate Apocalypse · 10-08-2009, 04:22 PM

Looks good, but dont like the exposed pop-rivet deals that hold the tonneau cover kill it for me. Plus, for $18K I'd want a hard cover.

Jayhawk500 · 10-08-2009, 04:34 PM

I llllike it!
Why change the upholstery?
This is the first time I have seen the dash and door trim in yellow.
It looks good, but I believe its too much.

Wheels were the best part! Save your 18G's and wait a year.

Cmlloveless · 10-08-2009, 04:53 PM

It looks great down, BUT... I do not like the look of a soft rag top on this car! It needs to be a hard top convertible or none at all for me!!

Ragtops only look good to me when there isn't much of a top, like on the Vettes. If they came out with a hard top that would make my day.

By the way, the car used looks sweet

chevydude26 · 10-08-2009, 05:24 PM

looks great

kelleyperformance · 10-08-2009, 05:24 PM

bumped into this cars owner yesterday lol. he saw me loading SS 5th gen wheels into my truck and was like "ah must have a camaro, very nice..... i have one too, its a convertible"

Revo1 · 10-08-2009, 05:25 PM

Top down it looks GREAT!

Top up, not so much...

Dammit, I just don't know!...
