    Ok, so I am having a hard time trying to decide wether or not to install a vinyl top on my mav, so I need some pics of mavs with the vinyl top. My car will be the grabber blue and am thinking about the full top in black, with the top extending down to the moldings that run off to the rear of the quarter window. Show me some photos!!

    personally, i dont like vinyl tops. They cause rust really bad over time and fortunately mine had no rust under it. It still had the glue intact and was very hard to get off. Either way, i hope my pics help with what you want to do. That and i think they look better without vinyl tops.

    Oh and in the last pic (orange mav) its not 100% completed in it. I just posted it to show you.

    My first Maverick had a vinyl roof but the picture is sorta crappy, but here it is.
    deadboy_side_small_copy_original.jpg I have to admit if i made another Maverick like this one i would paint the roof blue instead of putting the vinyl back on.
