Do you use your Top Boot?

[dsmturbo]

I only put my boot on if I am going for an extended cruise or highway. I find it does look better and keeps all the dust etc out of the rails and such in rear quarters top area. Mine is filthy though as I haven't yet had time to clean in there.

But with boot in trunk, there is very little room

my top is always on

Mine came in the other day and I haven't had time to post a photo until now.



The ebayer I bought it from said he bought a bunch from a rental car company. It was brand new still in a sealed plastic bag.

I still think I'll be okay running around town without it but I do like the way it "finishes" the look of the car.

I vacuum all that out about once every other month. I park beneath a crepe myrtle tree and always get crud in there.

As to the boot, I'm trying to find materials to create a "boot bag" for storage that will help minimize the space it takes up, will post here when I get it done.

Thats the color mine came with. I didn't like the look of it on my car so traded it with a member at PTCrew for the black one. Worked out well. That color does look nice on the red!

And I want that rear spoiler!!!

I think I'm going to get me a windscreen and goodluck finding the spoiler, they are quite rare but I posted the mopar part number over at PT Crew, lat me know if you want it.

Let me know when you get ready to order the wind screen. I bought mine from a friend of mine, Dan Fawcett, at LovetheDrive.com. He eBays his for about $55 less than the Mopar one's and is great at customer support.

I looked tonight and there are some new one's out there that I've never seem before. This one doesn't cover the back seat, and I'm not sure I like it covering the entire bar, you lose two lights that way...

This is from the guy I got mine from, when I bought it, it was only $185...

Thats pretty much what I paid for it (I was lucky as my car is already Black) in my colourful Canadian dollars. AutoTruck toys are good to deal with even when it comes to shipping to Canada.

Yes, but I want an after market one. That's about $100 more than it's worth. I had a chance, but didnt have the cash, to pick up one painted to match my PT for $300... money, it's like the cops, never aruond when you need it...
