Hello everyone,
Sorry I didn't reply sooner. It took a couple of days to set up my account. Thank you Wayne for posting the pictures of our new product.
Some of you may remember our advertisements in the Viper Magazine and here on the VCA when we were called TGF Automotive Enhancements. We have been around for about 10 years with products like our aluminum hardtops for the Gen 1 Vipers. We have been working on this new Gen 3 hardtop for a little while now and I can't answer all of your concerns 100% at this time since the hardtop you see in these pictures is still our prototype. But, here are some facts I can tell you about:
Price - we are trying to keep the pricing between $3100.00 - $3500.00!
Material - this Gen 3 hardtop will a stamped aluminum hardtop, not composite! (we will be offering a seperate carbon fiber hardtop later this year).
Production start date - Sept 1st, 2004.
Weight - under 40 pounds, our current Prowler composite hardtop weighs in at 37 pounds.
Mounting Hardware - front OEM latch wil be used. We will manufacture our own rear mounting system that will be compatable with the use of the OE convertible system. The hardtop will mount under the rear deck lid, not over the top of it. Access to the trunk will be no problem with the hardtop installed.
Colors - available in all OEM colors or custom colors will be a special order.
We will be debuting this Gen 3 hardtop at the ALMS, (American LeMans Series), race July 18th, 2004 at Infineon Raceway to the Northern Calif chapter VCA members. Anyone in the area, please feel free to come by and visit with us.
Please feel free to contact me at the information listed in my signature with any questions or concerns.
