Drop Top Customs' Camaro Convertible ready for SEMA 2009 - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

OMG! That looks great with the top down. I don't think I would ever put the top up though.

CamaroSkooter · 10-09-2009, 10:28 AM

Yeah, I'm confused.

First off, the video is of a chally, and not a Camaro. But I assume that's just to show what kind of work is involved.

Secondly, when you put the top up and roll up the windows in the doors, it looks like there would be a huge hole behind the door windows where the tiny rear quarter windows used to be.

What happens with the 1/4 windows? I like the looks of this car,but I think I will wait to see how GM addresses the 1/4 windows,and the tonneau.I think it should be a hard cover.And it should be flat,following the lines of the car.

Surprised they chose to do that intensive change to a non RS car

I think I will keep my 5 star crash rating and pass on the skin cancer risk.

$18,000 to convert to a ragtop? Forget the hardtop, might as well get 2 Camaros...

Looks sharp but for a extra 18 grand id pass her up.

Are those the factory wheels.

*Mindz* · 10-10-2009, 02:42 PM

I don't like the look of that convertible top. It makes the car looks waaaaaay too long. The top down looks great, but with the top up, the car looks VERY VERY VERY misfit.

NickPic · 10-10-2009, 05:53 PM

its nice but they could of came up with something better for the top when its done. they couldnt hide it any better?

croyal1974 · 10-12-2009, 02:11 AM

That thing is absolutely gorgeous, and id kill for a convertible, but sadly i got a first year that i will not sell for a very long time. I might have to look into affording my 2010 and maybe a 2011(or 12) z28 convertible. Goodbye college and savings fund.

I really dont think anyone is crazy enough to devalue their 25-40k purchase at the cost of 18k.
