Holy timing!

Driving in to work this morning I was suddenly hit with an image of a retractible hard top thinking I would have to get one. I'm not a fan of soft-tops anymore which is why I like my T-tops. Please please please throw in a hard-top conv and as soon as my kids are out of boosters I'm headed for the Chevy dealer! If they can make it so the 5th gen be used a daily driver in the Northeast how can I say no? Those pictures look FANTASTIC!

They do the same thing on the Solstice/Sky and I think it's horrible.

I won't be getting a convertible, but I certainly hope for those that will be, that they correct this with a body colored piece around the windshield.

Us "old schooler's" are just the opposite....windshield frames are supposed to be chrome / SS...painted makes the car look incomplete with the top down.

I think it looks great, though the color combo is not the best.

Check out these colors I made:
