Hi!

I just purchased my first Z on Saturday! I got the roadster and I am trying to figure out what the top is made of, is it vinyl or is it cloth? There seems to be alot of discussion around this topic and I dont want to hose up my new car the first week!

I want to make sure that I am taking proper care of my Z, so any help on this would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Here are a couple of pics

 

congrats and welcome!!!

 

welcome, where in TX?

 

I am in the DFW Area

 

Looks just like mine minus the orange seats. Lovely choice.

Welcome to the boards.

 

cool.......same here, keep up with the Texas Section, we are always having meets...

What do yall use to condition and treat your tops? I dont want mine to get dried or cracked ect. I know it was on the dealers lot for awhile before I bought it so I think I need to get it conditioned pretty quickly. (Got to love the deals on "left overs" when the new unproven model comes out )

 

Congratz on the purchase. Great color!!

The material is vinyl coated. Two popular products are Ragg Topp and 303 Aerospace. I've used both and like them. The 303 is much easier to buy and cheaper. I bought mine in the boating supplies department of Cabela's. I believe Ragg Topp is available only on the internet.

Enjoy the ride.

 

Thanks! I really appreciate the advice. I will head over to Cabela's and pick up some 303.

I am loving it already Hubby is upset he isnt getting to drive it

LOL all's I can say is MINE!!!!!!!

 

Great car - big congratZZZ.
303 - me too.
Tell hubby ZR's are for girls

 

Enjoy...

I bought the 303 convertible care kit - or whatever it's called. Came with a bottle of cleaner and a bottle of protector. Wait for the warm weather - easier/quicker to apply. Try www.303products.com.

By the way - when are we getting some of that warmer weather in DFW area?? Where are you located?

 

I am up North of Dallas outside of Frisco

I don't know the weather is warm enough but I am miffed about the rain, picked my Z up on Saturday had a wonderful day with the top down, most of Sunday was great to... now for the next 10 days it is supposed to rain I wanna ride with my top down!!!!!!

I do work over by Southlake, by the north end of the airport

 

That is what I told him He has his toy (the vette you can see in the pic) he doesnt need to play with mine!

 

Yeah - 70's and low 80's work - and I know we need the rain - but why oh why does it seem to rain every weekend! Driving me nuts.

I go the other way - Southlake to Irving and back every day. Enjoy the ZR - maybe I'll see you on 114 one day

 

Congrats! I just got my first Z about 4 weeks ago. Trying to learn all I can to keep her in top shape.

 

Welcome to the club. Enjoy the ride (with the top down).

 

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome I look forward to doing some simple mods (wheels, stereo, maybe custom paint) to make it more my own and as I get stuff done I will post pics

 

Custom paint? Here's an idea to consider. We had the hoops and the plastic section the covers the speakers and the compartments painted body-color. It's subtle, but oh-so-much-better (IMO) than the factory non-matching black.

 

OK so I dont have that Z anymore.... The dealership that sold it to me tried to jack me on it a couple of days after I bought it Called me back and said opps we need another 4K cash to get the deal done (Funnily enough the same amount of the discount they gave me after rebates and whatnot since it was an 08). Told them to stick it, took it back, and last night bought an 09 roadster for even less than I was going to pay for the 08! From a different dealership I will be posting pics of the new ride tonight!

 

whoa congrats on the new 09!!! Be sure to post pics of that! Sounds like the dealership screwed themselves over haha
