Does anyone make a mesh top?
I stumbled on this mesh top made by a guy for the Lotus Elise and thought it seemed really cool. Does anyone make them for Corvettes? All my searches just come up with mesh grill or wheel results.

That's nice! I'm sure one could be designed for the C6.

I'd buy one. It would be perfect for the long stretches of sunshine here in Southern California. They could put it on a similar Corvette targa frame and it would be so much lighter and easier to handle.

The Elise has a soft top and a system to support this top already. The C6 does not. This would not be easy or cheap to adapt.

One of the vendors here already has a similar product for the coupe, but it's designed to protect against dust or unexpected rain while parked, not for use while driving. I wonder if it could be modified?

I agree with JimmyLee - this would work well with the coupe targa frame. I have an extra one laying around.... Looks like I may have a new winter project!

Go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy some window screen, fabricate a screen roof. Heck, you could even add side curtains for driving in the swamps!

Wish I had a spare roof frame to do this on - it is a great idea

without that center bar in the opening that the Lotus has, you are talking about major flopping of a top of that material on the C6..... just sayin

The carbrella top is good for that, but you can't drive with it installed. I just might get one anyway.
