I've got a trunk kit installed and they still fit pretty well. Even when I didn't, I would just keep them in the bags, and put them on top of each other, but opposing. That's what Firebrid was trying to say I think. I put one top side down and the other top side up. They have never given me a sliding/moving problem or anything like that. I should have got the hard top so I didn't have to worry about it. The ONLY time I like the t-tops is when they're off. (Know what I mean??) When they're on, they're a pain the ass. Squeaky, leaky, noisy pieces of sh*t!

Just my opinion.................

Irv,

I ended up using the one I bought from seturbo.com. I bought one from Kirban's and wasn't a fan. The one from SETurbo is very nice and you can get embroidery if you choose. Here's a pic of mine installed. I like the way it finishes the trunk. I really wish the original owner would have spent the $35 and got the factory one.
