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.

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
