Default Acrylic Top

I was looking around for new stuff to buy and came across an Acrylic Top. Kinda cool. I have not heard of the Company though.

My buddy and I saw these guys at SEMA this year. They had this exact JK there with the Acrylic Top. It obviously caught my eye so I went over to check it out. My first impression was it was kinda chinsy and cheap feeling. The Acrylic is really flimsy and thin. The rep said it doesn't make noise when driving but I'd have to see it in action to believe it. It attaches with some Velcro straps over the roll bar and didn't seem very secure. I don't have one and haven't seen it in action so I can just tell you what my visual impression was.

It obviously doesn't cover over the roll bars so it wouldn't keep water out. So what would the advantage be? Just buy a BesTop Mesh top. That way you get a little cover and it cuts down on the sun a bit.

I personally wouldn't waste money on that.

Good idea, but it looks like it would just funnel water right in on your lap. They should've made it a little wider.

I'm not sure I'd trust velcro to hold this either. Maybe it'd be ok, but I'd hate to lose this going down the road.

I'm thinkin' black cafeteria trays duct taped to the roll bars. Hit the right school and you could probably find'em "painted" to match.

Central4wd is a west coast only type company, they have 5 stores on the west coast, they are similar to 4wheel parts but not nation wide.

I deal with the one in Kent, WA., nice guys and good prices. some of there stuff is from local guys trying to make it out in the industry.

might as well get some garbage bags and stretch them over the bars --- but other than that i think they look like cheap knock-off t-tops from the 80's --- or what i really mean to say is THEY SUCK LOL
