http://www.benlovejoy.com/wheels/911/roof/index.html

He doesnt say where it came from, just a Californian company. Any pelicans know who/where to get one of these?

Could be JMPro? He's on Pelican sometimes. There's an ad in Excellence for the targa roof version 2. Don't remember if it's by him or Sundialent?

jmpro makes it, you can get it from our host. It is really a fiberglass skin, you need to get a donor OEM targa frame/side seals to with it. Think of it as reskinning an regular top but with fiberglass.

Hi

There was one of these for sale on ebay, that same dark fiberglass look, it was really cheap IMHO and seemed like a good deal, it was brand new, don't know if it sold or not, when I saw it there was no bid on it yet.

Do a search on " completed auctions " and you will find it.

The listing had quite a bit of info on the roof panel itself if I remember right.

Interesting look with the bar and roof sprayed body color. Not sure if I like it or not...

OK here ya go,

I did the search and found it on the second try, the auction ended on 8 - 22 - 5 with no bid's the guy wanted 399.00 for the part plus shipping.

The Ebay auction number is : 7993015317

He also sold one on 9 - 2 - 5 with a buy it now for 400.00 plus shipping, he is selling quite a few of these I guess,

Ebay auction number is : 7997384773

He appears to be the manufacturer of them, and has quite a few feedbacks on his tops, you could email some of them and see what they really have to say before you buy I guess.

The tops are one piece fiberglass and he has lots of pics in his adds.

Hope this helps you out.

I am in no way linked to this guy or his part.

Believe you guys are talking about the sundialent tops. They are no where near as good as the JMPRO tops that Pelican is selling. I bought a sundialent top as a test for everyone on Pelican and found it to be lacking in several areas.

The JMPRO top that Pelican sells bolts onto a targa top frame and is stable, looks good and is just plain engineered a lot better. Try doing some search's on this forum for both tops and make your decision.
