i was sick and tired of getting horribly tee-shirt tanned. i hated the idea of losing the true open top feel, but i hated more my constant sunburn.

imo its a trade-off but worth it. online instructions are good, fit is very tight if you follow the instructions and it most assuredly cuts down on sun in the cabin, HEAT in the cabin, and drastically reduces the wind noise at freeway speeds.

it took me around 15 min to put it on and would be like 5 min to take it off if i wanted. again, its a trade off for the true "open top" feel but whatever, we cant have everything!

Love mine. Best bang for the buck - keeps the temperature down and the UV rays off. Get one, you won't be sorry.

I made my own and it is the best thing that I've done so far. If I had to do it over again I would just buy the one from spiderweb shade. A lot less hassle. You will not be disappointed.

ID:	329553I absolutely love mine. Yes its not as 'open' as just having the top down but its so much more comfortable than having the sun beat down on you relentlessly. There are some good pics of this top over in the Sponsor forum under 'Glad to be here'.


*edit* added pics

Default Okay...

I have had my Spider Shade for a few months- since before the summer. Up until Memorial weekend I was STILL running topples to work and back, in my monkey suit. Leaving the office and sitting in traffic IN HOUSTON's 90+ degree heat was hardly noticeable assuming I was getting airflow through the missing doors.

Well last weekend we ran to 4WP for BBQ with just the front roof open on my hard top, and NO SPIDERSHADE...

We will NEVER roll without the Spider Shade again.
