Matte hardtop from Jacob and Andy (TWRD) - LotusTalk

kaz · 03-01-2009, 07:31 PM

I'm starting a contest to get more carbon on the car than Eddie (ha!) - rollbar cover on order to match so I'll have a complete carbon top. Build quality is excellent, going to think of something fun with the paint - will post pics when it's on the car next week. It feels light, don't know the exact weight -we'll probably weigh it at Brent's shop at some point. I would imagine it's 5?6? lbs lighter, and much sexier

nice good to hear. I have a top and roll bar cover in wet on order from them. cant wait

Brent Bauman · 03-02-2009, 08:14 PM

like I said.

kaz · 03-02-2009, 08:34 PM

I know

I'm gonna clearcoat the top, but leave the stripes in matte - should be awesome

hey how was Vegas?!? and...Eddie and I are praying to the rain gods about Friday

New hardtop is on and fitted...going to wait for the paint till I get the rollbar cover and access panels - stripe them all at the same time. Oh and a gratuitous shot of my new favorite tires BFG R-1's. They are wearing like RA-1's so far.

shay2nak · 03-22-2009, 05:21 PM

How long did it take to get once you put the order in?

kaz · 03-22-2009, 05:32 PM
