One of the previous owners of my accord put a custom top on it. The only way I can explain it is its like a vinyl covering over the roof.:wtf: Has anyone seen anything like this before? It looks like a convertible but it's not. Can anyone tell me what this is called and approximately how much it would take to have it removed?

It just sounds like a vinyl roof kit. I have no clue how to get it off, though. It might be glued down or something...you might call a shop and see what they say.

I've seen that kinda stuff done of 3G Accords before and in my opinion, it looks horrible. I think taking it off would cost almost as much as a decent-shape 3G Accord.

Just rip it out and go to the junkyard and get a decent one.

Is it like a phantom top? Paulie had one on his car. Does anyone have a pic of his to post up?

I wouldnt yank it off untill you figure out how it is attached to your roof.

this was all i could find, i got it off Mike's site. i guess Paulie's page isn't up anymore but his car definitly made this top look good.

Yeah some kid at my school has a top like that. It looks soo bad. He did a really bad job on putting it down I guess.

That phantom top is exactly like mine except mine is white, which sounds wierd, but it everyone seems to like it because it matches the inside of my car.
