I love that you have a sense of humor.

14 bonus points.

Could you make a video where you "back that ass up" ?
Just wondering...

Be careful what you ask for you just might get it!

Its not photoshopped. Here's more of my SKY Assback Coupe.

Its not the whole top though, its mainly just the hatch part of it. Just looks really out of place to me.

So CD, you're the person who purchased the one and only yellow EDAG SKY top?  If so, that's one rare top.  Was thinking the first grey pic you posted was PS.  Is it grey primer or flat grey wrap?  Also, what's the reactions you've been getting from it?

ChopTop, as you and all Kappa owners know these cars get lots of comments and attention, especially the SKY since they weren't marketed as much or sold as many. My red wheels on a perl gray car pop too! Since adding the "Assback" top it has certainty gotten much more attention in my area from car clubs and tuners. Even from a movie scout! A dealer made and offer for a straight trade that was tempting and I've had a couple of offers for the car, but none of them were agreeable. I'm very very happy with it and enjoy "deferent" stuff in my life.

Money talks, call Norm. 

Questions to ask:
1. Is the rear side windows Plexiglas?
2. Is the rear hatch window being offered in Plexi or OEM glass?
3. If so, what is the price difference?
4. Is the rear hatch window functional with gas struts?
5. How is the underside of the hatch (and separate structural interior panel) finished?
6. If the inner panel(s) is painted is it possible for an upholster shop to give it a more finished appearance?
7. How is the driver, passenger, and rear hatch windows sealed?
8. Is the inside quieter or louder than the convertible.
9. Are there inherent squeeks and rattles?
10. Does the price include exterior color matching or is that a separate service?
11. How long does it take to install if I wanted to install this on my own?
12. What would the timeframe be if I dropped my car off at your shop for the installation, and is that also a separate fee?
13.  Is my decklid given back to me or would I receive a credit if I didn't want it back?
14.  If my vehicle is equipped w/XM is that transferred over during the installation process?
15.  If this is going to be used as a seasonal item do you recommend leaving the convertible top in place?
16.  And finally, do you provide gawker insurance?  :lol:

Hello, finally I have good news. These are pictures of the first prototype roof that we will send to Forty, please keep in mind this is not a final production piece. As for this show and tell I simply put a base coat on to match without clear and used double sided tape for the side glass as you would urethane them in place after painting, But should give you a better picture of the final product. Rear glass hinges up and locks down, made form acrylic, tempered glass is not a realistic alternative.  At this point pricing is $2195.00 prior to paint with headliner and insulation a $350.00 option. Thankyou for all your patience. Norm 574-255-7843

I would love to have this top if that whale tail could be toned down. It's much better looking on the Falken Sky.

Hello, its basically the same even in the top picture you showed, they added a flap (almost a Gurney Flap) at the edge back line that they could control up and down. It may look larger because under the rear Kamm Tail its deeper, I couldn't do that for I had to have better sealing for the street. A little compromise.Graphics and paint are misleading. Though youre welcome to take a grinder to yours, LOL. Thanks again Norm

Having a fiberglass business of my own, I know you put a ton of work into this and I can't even imagine how much time you've got into making this. It looks SWEET in my opinion and I'm sure the quality is the same that goes into all of your other products. NICE WORK!!!

Still love my rear diffuser!

Hello, yes that is a replacement top for the coupe targa section. An aftermarket design a little better than stock. It stows  in the trunk for a rainy day. Thanks Norm
