Seeing as ours is red, that looks friggin awesome! 

BTW, targa top owners might want to read about a proposed alternate targa softop design: http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f114/re-engineered-targa-soft-top-75014/

9Y000008_COUPE  I like your tag ( Had mine for 22 years) & the top will look GR8 and blend in to the Body

Thanks for the comment

                               Sorry for the Hi-Jack

Elff ; if enough people in different states do the ( 1 LIL NDN ) Tag we would have our own " Tribe of Solstice Indians ".I think there is one in Canada also . That would be a Rare Breed .

Fail, you never apologize for a hijack, you just do it and hope no one notices.  Your fellow drift team members come along and help steer things off course and before you know it you have a thread wondering where Kelu is and how come he hasn't been posting for a while.  Boy I hope everthing is okay with Kelu, anyone heard from him recently?

George was last seen at the mod meet last year. He will possibly be making a return visit this year if I can come up with the right combination of mixers, liquor and dancers.
Kelu is doing well he was at the zoo earlier.

Arabas " George the Greek " was not at the mods meet last year. I think you have your Georges mixed up W/another George . Nice try

Don't think it is what i'm taking , as to what you two are Smoking . You may want to cut back or try something different. I've heard it can ( Impair your Vision ) makes you see things that are not there.

If someone really wanted strips on one of these tops they could just be silkscreened on.  You can get screen inks to match just about any paint color and you wouldn't have to worry about a seam leaking.

Bobby stop hijacking threads. :roll:

2013 Corvette 427 Convertible offered a striped vert top.  However, all pics show a white car with dual silver stripes on a black vert top charcoal stripes.  Couldn't find how the stripes were made, but probably some type of canvas paint.
