Adv Fiberglass hardtop preview (by Advanced Fiberglass Concepts)

[Scohin]

If Ford ever sells a complete bolt-on hard top kit, with all necessary parts included, for anywhere close to $2K, I’ll eat my shorts.

It's about how much Jeep hardtops are ($2400-$2900) Ford still has to try and compete with Jeep

Don’t give me hope

but how are you gonna feel if/when ford finally does release a hard top for around $4k and you've paid $6-10k for a fiberglass or carbon fiber top

Pre ordered the ADV hardtop so I can get my RTT on asap. I’ll care 0% if Ford release it at 4k

Glad to see more options available. For a lot of owners that had to go with the soft top to get their truck, this works out great.
Looks like a single piece. If it is, thats a pretty good piece to handle to take on/off, but should help with the wind noise compared to OEM.

Not to hard to build a mold and copy something. Don't see how they are going to source parts when Ford is competing for the same parts.

You presume too much, possibly. The only hardtop they could have pulled a reverse mold from is the MIC. Any top I buy has to replicate (or be) painted modular top

Who cares about the hard top... What can you tell me about those fenders?!!!

Fenders are old news. They offer standard and 5" and are currently working on larger ones. They are current already for sale.

They talk so much smack about the factory hardtops being terrible - yet here I am with over 10k miles on my MIC 1.x top that is still perfect. Oh well, still nice to have options for people that have a soft top and want to change I guess. I don't really understand wanting a one-piece hardtop though that doesn't even have a sunroof but to each their own.

Didn't Ford come out and yank the 1.0 from you? Plan was not a single 1.0 would be left in customer hands before they sold any additional 2.0 and that was a year ago.

they dont wanna make their broncos look "equal" to jeeps, they want to make them look

is there a ford task force that breaks into people's garages and swaps tops in the middle of the night? it's not like Ford can force you to give up property that belongs to you.

Nope. 1.0 tops had to be inspected and replaced if defective. Mine is perfect so I still have it.

any reason this thing had to have a slanted back?

They gauged what the fans wanted and most chose the slight slant

Weird. Looks good on the fastback soft top but looks like the leaning tower of pizza on a hard top

I haven’t seen it in person yet but it’s a similar slant angle to the old broncos and matched the line on this one too. Some still prefer the square back. It’s just personal preference.

Anderson is making one that’s a carbon copy of the MIC but in fiber glass

Didn’t want it to look like a Nissan Cube like the fugly MIC.

Any idea what it would it would cost to have the primed top painted to match the body color?
