That is not the "Top" it is car cover for vert, notice the strap attached to the door handle. Raising and lowering top often, causes wear on the top fabric.

Tough crowd in this thread, lol ...
Some judges would give him a 10+ for how he parked --
Note the double-stripe to the left of the car ... that means he is parked at the end of the row. Maybe near the door, judging by fire extinguisher on wall in front of car. To avoid door dings he is parking away from the adjacent parking spot on the right. Sharp looking convertible and looks like he is trying to keep it that way. It will also give a passenger more room to swing open the Camaro's record sized door.

Well then please let me be the first to tell you: they look bad!

Seriously though; they cheapen the look of that nice looking car in the picture and make it appear as a Joe Dirt level car.... So if no one has ever told you that they look bad maybe they didn't want to be confrontational or hurt your feelings.

MGP alternative? Don't feel like dropping 200 if I don't have to. Thoughts on the universal ones on Ebay? Does anyone have pictures with them?

That's because thankfully the majority of people aren't assholes to your face.

I know some individuals that have them and personally think they are one of the top "poser" mods you can do. That said, that's my opinion only and sure as hell would never put down another persons taste to their face.

Your car; your money.

I'm really starting to want caliper cover now. Not because they are cool or serve any purpose but just because they appear to give so many people epic butthurt.

I am getting some for sure now... Going to check classifieds though..

Be nice to see all the reactions! Like when I come back from the store, all the vomit in the parking lot around my car!
