I have a '72 S4 Sprint, and it has the "ugly frames". In reality, you don't notice the frames, and it makes the windows more secure and the roof more water proof if you have the top on.

As for the Webbers, I'd like to have them, but again, the reality is that the Strombergs work just fine, and are easier to maintain/keep adjusted.

In reality, they are all good...
