my home made t top shades

[SunsetZ]

I like it. I think it looks good and anything that makes your car "yours" is something to be proud of! I see where you are going with it and ya know, I bought my car used and the covers didn't come with it.... So, for those of us who don't feel like ordering them from the dealership or finding them on ebay, we gotta find the creativity in us and let it flow! I wanna see a finished product and I may very well be interested in a pair as well!

Nice going MOD.... I don't think he should be bashed at all!

[Ed Blown Vert]

I dont see anyone being bashed except for the guy who was called an asshole... by "KyleLs1" who interjected ranting and raving about the guys posts.Why would something be done to someone defending themselves from being called out as being an asshole for him not liking the quality of these inserts? Is this the way this forum works?

Both members were taken care of.

Good job sgt0704. I love to read up on DIY jobs too. I'm looking at doing something similar in the boot/trunk space of my SS to hide storage compartments. I'd love to see the pics of the finished product...

Cheers Bill

[KyleLs1]

thanks man! i appreciate it

[sgt0704]

i'll probably go get the material this weekend to cover them. i just wanted to make sure that the letters and everything would hold up in the 118 degree outside, plus whatever it is in the car, heat. so far so good. thanks for the compliments. also, if i can get the tan fabric at the store, i could do it. but let me see if it turns out..

Good job with those. I have done the same thing with my 79 T/A, and just need to jet them covered in headliner material. I'll post a pic as soon as I can. And foam core as you used is perfect as they press fit into place with out moving while driving.

I've been keeping an eye on this thread purely because I'm interested how the finished product turns out. I fear that if the petty bickering gets out of hand, the mods will remove thread altogether.

Start a 'Bitch' thread. It could be very entertaining. You could flame, accuse, threaten and spit at all your favourite forum members.

sgt0704, filter out the constructive criticism and ignore the plain negative posts. You need not defend your creativity... Looking forward to the finished pics

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?

Ok I went back and looked at these againjust to make sure I wasnt being picky .. but I cant say I was... maybe if you have an ss .. do the ss logo on them thatd be something better .. in the actual font on the emblems maybe .. thatd be a lil more likeable

[Firebug]

Bah! No one ever listens to me...

I was thinking bowties. I'd like something like that in the boot, err trunk...

[illcul8troffcr]

in the boot?

[Firebug]

Trunk, I think you guys call it? The empty space between the back seat and rear bumper.

[illcul8troffcr]

keep it up and you might be on a holiday. keep the bickering out of this thread.

SGT- great idea. actually gives me an idea to do that to the factory ones.

[Ed Blown Vert]

the only issue i have is when the bitching goes back and forth between you and someone else. if you want to have an internet dick measuring contest, cool, just don't do it on "MY" thread.

Which is why I am going to clean up this thread.

[The Rookie]

nice job

Oi sgt, where's the pics of the finished product?

[sgt0704]

sorry, i've been broke lately. the battery just took a shit on me. so i gotta buy a new one. probably gonna get one of those red tops or something. the 1st's payday is usually tight. rent, car payment, insurance etc... on the 15th i'll have the funds to do what i need to.

i'll def post finished pics.

thanks for the inquiry
