To those who are claiming that Spoon wouldnt cut the top because it compromised structural integrity, lets get real.

The car is a convertible, there is no hardtop that directs forces into a structural member to absorb energy in a crash, nor does this hardtop require removing the rollhoops. This hardtop is no less/more safe than one that doesnt have a window. I just cant believe it took this long for someone to do it...and that 2 companies are doing it simultaneously.

Looks great, I love the way the window follows the depression in the hardtop, not the window. Flows much better. Looks like Lindsey did a good job.

How is the blindspot any different than the OEM softtop? Just your your mirrors.

My question with the spoon style top, any version real spoon, bulletproof, or the shine version. Has anyone thought of painting the portion of the trunk that the hardtop covers black? Or maybe the body colored part that you can see through the window doesn't look bad?

You could paint the trunk, but it'll still look obvious that the trunk is there through the lexan. It would look better if the trunk portion was cut altogether, but then you wouldn't be able to access anything in the trunk making it worse. If the trunk were attached to the top into a true hatch, it would be better, but b/c of chassis flex, the spoon top would warp/fracture in an instant.

Swing by the meet this weekend and you'll see what I mean.
