I just bought a Smoothline off of a guy in town. It's really nice, I've stiil got to get it painted. I paid $550 and they go for $2499 brand new, so I got a good deal. I'll post pics when I get it painted.

I paid like $1680 unpainted for mine. Than $480 in fixing blemishes and paint.
Thats puts me just over 2k.
and for those who say it takes two ppl It doesnt. Im 5'11,142lbs (skinny ****)
and I can do it.
Only two pics that I have right now....
Best part, the back plexiglass window comes with a slint tint on it, so matches the car perfectly

Thanks
Before it sat on my kitchen table lol, now it sits on the car. I say, maybe mock up a design and buy hangers from lowes to hang it in your garage(I dont have one)
Idk if Ill wanna take it off hahaha
Good luck though!

Looks great!
Does the soft top simply fold down under? How's the wind noise? Any issues with rain/water leaking? Rattles?
I wish the OEM softop had that size rear window.

And I will refuse to have it leak. (the car is torn apart, and Im yanking the engine for the new 408 )
Rattle is impossible as it mounts in the latches where the oem top does, and then there are "j-hooks" that go to these supplied eyelets that you mount on each side of the car. that thing isnt going anywhere when you do that.
IMO.....worth ever penny. Hell my friend with a coupe(LSGUN) even said it looks better than a Z because it looks like I chopped the top. I know its not that much of a difference, but I absolutely love the look

Thanks, yes the top is "glued" to a tonneau cover, four bolts and it's off then i put the regular tonneau back on. I only switch it once or twice a year, takes about ten minutes to switch.
