Now be honest......how many of you would have gone for this option if it was offered?

Very cool! Nice find apkano. But since my roadster generally only goes out topless, probably not. I wish the SRT-6's had the two-tone interior option like FP's. That together with the leather top would be awesome!

Can't tale the credit. It belongs to Apkano.

Hahaha! Well who wouldn't? It would be a real bummer if that leather shrunk after being out in the rain.

I don't think it's really leather, but I like the color. Matches my seats.

Agree! If D/C had only made these cars in smaller productions, they might have been able to make upgrades like these and made $$. Less is more.

Leather certainly wouldn't have lasted in the inclement weather so really what would be the point but it sure does look nice on a black car...they would have had to have made a different color for my graphite gray roadster though.

I love the back and brown combo. I had a black and brown/tan Miata, but the brown looks better. The late 90 Mustangs also offered the black and brown combo and they really looked sharp. This pic is still my first top. Any idea on how much a new top will cost? big $$$

Hmm. That looks OK. I would have still opted for the fabric top.
Kind of reminds me of my old Wrangler Bestop or a new Mustang convertible top.

To be perfectly honest I've always hated that color...I have yet to find that it really matches any other color...

It reminds me of something an old man dressed in a cap and tweed coat would like, but I realize we all have different tastes.

Yuck!

OK...and that has WHAT to do with the leather top?


Ohhhhh...I get it...another buckeye that has no idea how forum's and posting works...either that or it could be the inability to read!



Thank God I know how to use the Crossfire Forum Iggy list!
