Default NEW Race HARD top with HARD ware $850

DG Motorsports new 1989-2005 fiberglass hardtop, including all needed hardware.

light weight fiberglass
ready for prep & paint
includes lightweight rear plexiglass, installed
custom rear hardware included
custom inner panel work with foam stiffener

This is a perfect light weight top for racing, but I wouldn't hesitate to use this on a street car.

San Diego pickup or freight delivery (on your dime)

Pics of the inside? And could the recess where the rear window is riveted in be opened up to allow a stock size window?

The total weight is about 18lbs, all in. The inside includes a secondary mold that's bonded to the outer mold which replicates the original. A thin foam sheet at top adds stiffness.

The interior mold was also modified near the back window and door glass (top) to allow more room for a cage.

YES, you can cut back the fiberglass to make a larger window, but just remember that this existing window is larger than stock convertible glass...I think you'll like it as is.

Powder coated brackets and stainless hardware is included.

Edit--I talked to Dave Green (DG Motorsports) and he said that while a larger windscreen is possible, the yield on a sheet of polycarbonate means that it would add $150 to the cost of the part. There's no restriction with this window.

I'll just strap it to the back of the Catfish.
