I had a similar hardtop for my Lancia Scorpion and I really loved it.. The fact that it does not go in the trunk really was not a problem. Especially because on long trips you can't fit the soft-top in the trunk with any bags.

Waiting for a price and ordering information....

@sysofadown3 You know I was curious about the same thing and then I took a closer look at the photos. Unlike lots of convertibles and targa tops the 4C did it right. The gasket / seam is not on the front side of the windshield instead it is on the top. I am not the least bit worried about this getting lifted off or coming loose and as long as it clamps down against the existing gasket it should never leak.

I think the soft-top uses the center attachment because it is not ridged and without it you run the risk of it leaking.

I agree... Plus if you look at the lotus the front lip will catch air but with the 4c that lip is not in the airflow...

@Borneo Everyone is waiting for that piece of information....

 

[ecohen2]

I would be happy with either.... I suspect matte will survive the sun be more wear resistant over time, but I could be wrong..

 

[ecohen2]

Awesome... Thank you..

@epoxid Please add me to the order list...

 

[ecohen2]

@epoxid No problem at all... I am familiar with the hassle of shipping stuff internationally....

 

[ecohen2]

@epoxid Any chance you can work with another vendor to sell/ship it through them?

 

[ecohen2]

True, but we don't know what type of business relationships he already has... It might be a negligible amount...

 

[ecohen2]

I am patient, but having run a company that did international business I am also painfully aware of this process. Depending on how many orders are actually coming to the US it might not be worth the pain of setting this process up.

 

[ecohen2]

Good to hear..

 

[ecohen2]

I think you misunderstood my post. I was referring to epoxied cost associated with shipping to the US, not the value of the top for us... There is no question about its value...

 

[ecohen2]

Exactly... I had a double bubble top for my Lancia Scorpion shipped from the UK to the USA and it was painful for the company that shipped it...

 

[ecohen2]

Personally I would like a pedestal with a glass case to put it in so visitors could admire it when it wasn't on my car...

 

[ecohen2]

EXACTLY! Maybe some nice LED lights to highlight it as well...

Or maybe some kind of floor stand like this, but scaled up for the roof... It would make it easy to lift out and could provide storage for the soft-top when not in use... Of course in Carbon Fiber...

 

[ecohen2]

So sorry that you caught COVID, it is pretty miserable. Glad to hear you are feeling better.

 

[ecohen2]

Same...

@epoxid
Let me know if for some reason you don't have my contact information....

@Angrywankel My top is in the process of being shipped. After I get it, I can write up the process etc. There were some minor kinks with international wire transfers but those have been resolved, so not an issue for new orders,..
