t tops

[jsemm]

Just got a 96 z28 and hit a deer going 90. the bastard landed on my t tops and shattered them. i heard t tops are expensive, anyone have an idea how much?

I moved this to anything else. It goes better there. How's your front end?

GM part#'s are
RH 10429585
LH 10429586

I tried www.gmpartsdirect.com but they were down. I'll try later or you can.

I tried GMparts and they don't have them. It may be a dealer issue.

jezzz got any pics???

how'd you hit the deer??


once...coming back from a Living Legends (you probably never heard them) concert my Top wasnt locked in....going about 90 on a carpool over pass thing..about 50 feet above another freeway and i crack my window cuz its a lil hot...hear some rattling..look up and see my top flapping in the wind i reach up to grab the handle and before i could it lifts up...spins in midair above the car and whoooshhh flies away...lands on the freeway below, we think...there were a lot of red lights on the freeway and screeching...oopps.

but i was able to steal a top from my buddys wrecked Camaro...they cost about 150 from dealer ibelieve.

I talked to a guy who owns a body shop. t tops ended up being 730 a piece. i thought they would be expensive. my front end is prett bad and my hood is destroyed. i dont think anything got pushed into the radiator so i should e ok there. I have a cold air intake and thats seems like its pretty tight agianst the radiator but i dont know. Ill need a front bumper cover for sure. This deer must have been at a full sprint coming from my left when i hit it, it was at night too and i was going fast.

I heard they go for about 900-1000K for a pair of them. DosJ_95z what dealership said they would sell them to you for 150 bucks?

Srry I meant 900-1K dollars not 100K. lol I guess I lost touch with reality there for a second. lol

If I were you, I would check many many junk yards in the 75 mile radius of your house. Try to find any junkyard that has the same year camaro as yours, im not sure about compatibility of diff years. Find out how much it would be. I definitely think you can get away with some pretty nice t-tops for less than 500 bucks. Im not sure how much dealerships charge for them, im an LS1 owner so i'm assuming prices would be different. Anyway a few phone calls definitely wouldn't hurt.
Good luck.

actually it was at a junk yard, and jus for one.

i had to go to like 15 diff ones till i found one that had it.but luckily my buddy has his

If you need a t-top contact BigKernell44,

You can alos try ebay.

Any t-top from 93 - 97 should fit, even the Trans -am tops will fit the camaro.
