Sorry that picture not available
I bought the covers off ebay for $300 and had them painted for another $100.
They take about as long to put on as the stock 3 piece covers do but are tougher to carry in the car - though I have my rear seats removed so I have a bit more room.
They look very cool since so few cars have them, definately a head turner on the street and at shows.

I love 'um
Were it not for my roll cage, I would buy them.

I love them. Turns even MORE heads when I'm wearing my "Bat Attachments". Posted by Dr. Stew (Member # 1675) on :
I happen to have an extra set if anyone wants to make me an offer on them. They are DG motorsports. www.dgmotorsports.com In the gelcoat white.
BPS: that is one beautiful car...
Later, STEW

Thanks Stew, I just installed some WW GFX and clear turn signals - so it's looking pretty spiffy - just in time for winter storage Posted by ONE BAD BIRD (Member # 1640) on :
Thats a very sweet tonneau!
Are there otherones available? I'd like something with the backs on the headrests moulded in a little smoother, not quite as bold...
Posted by Dr. Stew (Member # 1675) on :
I don't think its as bold as you think..well, not in person. Its pretty smooth on the car. Later, Dr. Stew

We need something like that, but flat, and one piece for the SST.

You have the tonneau cover that you just bought for the SST don't you?

BPS - awesome! Anyone else have pics of anything?
Posted by NYHawk (Member # 1685) on :
I like that tops! Does anyone have any trouble putting the front seat back with them on? I am fairly tall (6'3") and need some room.
Thanks, Bill
p.s. how do they anchor?
Posted by BPS (Member # 1260) on :
No problems - I have my seat all the way back.
they are anchored in the rear in a similar fashion to the stoch tonnear piece (ie under the trunk lid) and they have two flaps that the front seatbelts run through that prevent it from lifting. I've never had an issue with mine.
Posted by JohnnyBs98WS6Rag (Member # 1028) on :
The ONLY problem I've had w/ mine is after a while small cracks will form around those seatbelt cut-outs. This is a high-stress area due to the weight of the front edge of the tonneau spanning across the back seat and the weak-spot created by the seatbelt cutouts. I've solved this problem by adding a small "prop-rod" that supports the weight of the tonneau in the middle down to the rear-seat cupholders. This also eliminates the squeeking you get as they bounce up-and down as you're driving.

Johnny, Now thats a good idea.. Do you have a mount location? I've always wondered what that mount under the carpet on the central tunnel is? Sounds like a good place to do that though. Very nice idea cause it is alot of weight on the center of that joint. Now if you could just figure out something to make it a lifting toneau to get access to the rear without jumping out and taking them off etc.. Dr. Stew

i bought mine from rksport for 450, they had free shipping at the time. im thinking i got ripped off on the paint job tho, 300 bucks
anyway, they are real head turners, and can be stored in the back seat with the top up if it looks like rain. i made some "envelopes" for them out of fleece, they button up the side on each one, for storage so the paint doesnt scratch. i love the way they look.
im actually thinking of selling my car though, and most likely am gonna sell them separate. anyone interested? theyre painted the dark green that came in most years, and if thats not your color, they can easily be repainted.

You have the tonneau cover that you just bought for the SST don't you?
The top boot cover we just bought is for when we aren't traveling a long distance.
We need a large, one piece fiberglass cover that is secure, rain tight and covers the entire cockpit.

Dr. Stew, My "prop-rod" is actually just a 1/2" x 4" piece of painted plywood that just sits in the rear seat cup-holders (it's arch-shaped in the bottom so that it "straddles" the divider between the two cup-locations. I can't remember if Camaros have the rear seat cupholder, but regardless the prop rod only has to rest down there somewhere to support the weight (it's not "bolted" down to anything in the car).
The top of the prop-rod is shaped w/ a slot to slide between the first wing-nut and the back of the front face of the tonneau, kinda locking itself in place. To install the prop-rod, I basically open the trunk, lay the tonneaus in place (already attached to each other), lift the front edge, slip in the prop-rod under the tonneau, resting it in the cupholder as I lower the front edge of the tonneau, then shut the trunk.
