my home made t top shades
Used paper for a template, then cut them out using an exacto blade.
I used foam board, i guess that's what it is. basically it's kinda like cardboard with foam in the middle. i used black so that it doens't show on the t tops. i'm going to be putting a camaro emblem on them, then covering them in headliner material in the near future.
helps keep the leather seats cool.
would any one be interested in a set for say $35 bucks?

That's a good idea.
I only wish i had t-tops.
I think they would look better if you made the 'M' more narrow so it's the same width as the rest of the letters....

My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
instead of white on black, woulda been cool if you could make a letter impression on the black-like it's embossed. I think the Black n white is to contrasty for interior. Cool idea, agree on the width of the M

I'm interested post up some pics when you have a finished product. Will you be able to match the interior color?

ummm I think that white logo and all looks very tacky.. if you have a nice looking interior then two huge white chevrolet emblems gleeming on your ceiling and big white letters..
I dunno bout the rest of you but my t-top shades came with the car when I ordered mine

Custom Slate Blue- 99 B4C
I get it, I like the idea. cover it in material so it's raised in the shape of the letters, we've all seen it before on other stuff.
