firegabe Prowler Junkie Posts: 313 From: Ca. Registered: NOV 2003	posted 08-08-2004 10:29 AM I love how my kat looks with the hard top. It is on 90% of the year even though it's sunny and beautiful here in L.A. 99% of the year. I was entering the Paramount studios main entrance, and the security asked me to open the trunk. I said "I don't have one" not really believing me. they asked me to pull to the side. With a flashlight I was able to show them how you could see from one side of the car to the other under the trunk. Still strict to procedures They wanted to see the lid open. well with two security guards holding the hard top, my pushing the trunk button and the third security officer looking in. I was able to enter, 20 mins later. Thinking about it. I love my hard top how it looks, How my 6'1" frame fits with out putting a bump in the soft top (with the seat all the way down) how the car looks from behind, and how it changes the entire looks of the car!!! I just now need to remember to take the Testarossa or something that opens next time. Thanks TGF for such a great TOP!!! Firegabe

Now that I am not getting into the trunk to tend to the nitrous bottle, I don't open the trunk near as much except to put the top up or down.

Norb @ TGF unregistered Posts: 8492 From: Oakfield, WI, USA Registered: MAR 2002	posted 08-10-2004 12:21 PM Thank you everyone for the kind words. We are very proud of the hardtop for the Prowler. We feel that we have designed such a successful product that we are in the final development stages of (2) new hardtops. One is for the new Viper SRT/10 and one for the Crossfire convertible. The Viper hardtop will be a stamped aluminum product with approx the same weight or less as the Prowler hardtop. At last years SEMA show, we made a carbon fiber hardtop for DCX's Viper. The Crossfire will be manufactured with the same material as the Prowler hardtop. Here are few pictures of these 2 new products. ------------------ Metalcrafters Automotive Enhancements "Formerly TGF Automotive Enhancements" 11161 Slater Ave. Fountain Valley, CA 92708 Ph: (714) 444-2000 ext. 505 (7:00am - 4:00pm PST) Fax: (714 435-1003 Business Cell: (714) 231-1223 www.metalcrafters.com / nschroll@metalcrafters.com This message has been edited by Norb @ TGF on 08-18-2004 at 10:42 AM
DR PROWLER Prowler Junkie Posts: 4079 From: TORONTO,ONTARIO,CANADA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 08-10-2004 12:31 PM That certainly gives the Viper a whole new look.....terrific! If Chrysler made it as a factory option,I bet you they'd sell one with every car! Great work! ------------------ This message has been edited by DR PROWLER on 08-10-2004 at 12:56 PM

Norb @ TGF unregistered Posts: 1277 From: Vancouver Wa. Registered: FEB 2003	posted 08-17-2004 01:56 PM Yes we have. The Silver Viper in the picture with what looks like the black hood, Hardtop and deck lid....all of those parts are manufactured from carbon fiber. About half of the concept cars we build have carbon-fiber bodies to keep the weight of the vehicle down. The ME412 we built last year for DaimlerChrysler and was also shown at Pebble Beach last weekend, has a carbon-fiber body with a F1 style carbon-fiber monocoque tub surrounding the drivers compartment. We also manufacture all the carbon-fiber funnycar bodies for John Force Racing. We can manufacture almost any part in carbon-fiber. This message has been edited by Norb @ TGF on 08-18-2004 at 10:44 AM
