This is waaay out there, but I figured I should give it a try. I spoke with Ray Poquette at Thermotech about building a bubble top for the Prowler. He would like to do the project, but his costs are very prohibitive in my opinion. He wants $8,000 for the mold, then $7,000 a copy for the top. I figured I would throw this out there, but doubt I will get any response. Ten buyers would have to pay $7,800 each for a bubble top? I could buy the only one for $15K but do not feel like going to divorce court. Any other ideas?

It's a cool idea but that's a whole bunch of money for any kind of hard top. Unless you're willing to throw in Kate Beckinsale. Then I'll take two.

This makes the $2,960 for Norbs sound like a steal!

Who the heck is this Kate girl? She's VERY attractive! See, I'm not blind!

Now what were we talking about? Oh yeah, the bubble top. I don't like it.

Humm Kate huh? Wow!

Looking at the rendering, I'm sure that it would somewhat different when made. I say that because the windows are not anywhere near the lines of the real windows. I could probably get used to the sight of it if the acrylic is a much darker version sort of like the factory tinted windows on most new cars. I think that would look great on my black Kat even not painted!

I doubt if these will get produced and I already have a hardtop, BUT to play devil's advocate:
How hot would it get inside the car with an acrylic top? Somewhat like a greenhouse? Even painted to block out some of the sunlight, with out any insulation or a headliner I would think it would get awfully hot. How about noise without a headliner?
Is this even practical?
I am asking questions to seek input. I do not know if what I think is correct.

Ask Sandy, Ed. Women will ALWAYS tell us if what we think is correct--OR NOT!!!
