and would admit it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I was looking at an old Mitcom ad for their Snob Top II and realized I had never seen one. It should have tempered glass with a reflective coating, in a black aluminum frame. Anyone else ever seen one of these? If you have one, would you mind posting a few close-up photos? The only kind I have seen are of plexiglass with a rubber marine zip-cord gasket which must mean other companies or glass shops where offering these besides Mitcom. Attached thumbnail(s) |

we have an almost perfect one in stock for 600 bucks. (the top with the snob top installed) Stoddards sold it to this guy for his 914-6 and we got it with the car in addition to the regular top.

I remeber it. Had a friend with one. Made the car hot & just didn't make sense, since the top is removable anyway.
But they sold some & that is Capitalism. |

LOL, I had a red-neck pimp version of that once, somebody cut a stock top, and dropped an aftermarket van conversion window into it. It was so ugly, but matched the purple and white velour interior of that car also. And how could I forget the white shag carpet.
Hey if the 914s a rockin don't bother knockin |
