I would just wrap some leather fabric or vinyl on the metal in the rear panels. as far as the autech top video, I've been looking for one forever but I cant find one. There is a member on here with a JDM vert, I think its blue, but he said that he would post videos of the top going up and down upon request.

Man, those verts are GIGANTIC compared to ours. And they take forever! I can drop mine waiting at a light.

But they don't need a boot cover and looks clean once dropped.I'll take that in a heart beat over plain drop like ours.

fiberglass the panels, not just the inserts - the whole thing.

Carbon fiber for the interior panels would be sweet. But way too expensive

I made a cover similar to gregs, but keeping the top mechanisim. It really cleaned things up.



Its a cheap, effective way to get rid of the back interior panels.

Ours don't need a boot cover.

Of course you don't mind, you guys do things slower in the South.

Juan, I don't have any recent pics of it, but here are a few different angles.







This is the before pic...

I took out my rear seats for subs and nitrous. My plan is to bolt the cover to the subs in order to keep it in place. Right now it is just sitting there snugly and hasn't moved an inch daily driving it.

If you are keeping your rear seats, I am sure you can find a sufficient mounting spot.

I'll try and get some better pics soon.
