It definitely needs one, the rag top is just plain hideous, looks like an old horse buggy.

I have never heard of one being made. I know mastergrade attempted it, but was going to cost too much to manufacture.

I think hes thinking about the tonneau cover? That roadster is sporting the seibon trunk and tonneau cover, but not a hardtop. Sickness either way
