    Well while the 1000.00 Sid Chaver's side curtains are expensive, personally thats the ONLY way I'd consider putting them on my car... sort of like when I got the top to begin with, I could have had some local shop or someone MAKE me some sort of top for your roadster, (or even made one myself) or bought some cheaper copycat version for less money than a real Bop Top, but it would never been the same, or look right. I feel the same way about home made side curtains for it... I don't have the 1000.00 curtains for mine either...but I know I'd never do anything to screw up the 3000.00 roof trying to jury-rig homemade ones onto it. I'm guessing that's the same thoughts others have had who own Bop Top's... they either have the real matching curtains or none at all.

    If I decide I need em, I'll save up and get the real deals...I doubt I will, because even the real Sid Chaver's ones look rediculous on the car IMO. (I'd rather just get wet! ) If its any concillation, I actually got caught in a pretty good downpour this summer and barely any water came inside anyhow.


    With all that said, if you're determined to get curtains cheaper, I'd try to copy the design of the originals as closely as possible, by either looking at pics on the website or even better, by making patterns from someone else's car with the real ones on it. Personally, i don't know anyone with the side curtains or I'd ask if i could make a pattern for ya.
