Hey Dude...
Would you believe I just lent my sister the camera yesterday???...LOL. I will re-post by the weekend with pictures and more details, but have no fear...NOT as bad as it looked originally.
The T-top compartment has a top part and bottom part(over the engine), same as b4...
However, although the bottom part is still that molded material similar to the stock cover, the top part is made up of black cloth with zippers on the 2 sides, some leather? stiched around the hem...and obviously no more latch/handle mechanism to aid in opening up the T-top storage area ...
At first it was a little harder to close the rear engine hatch than b4 (even without the top in the compartment) . With the T-top stored properly, it seemed to press up against the rear hatch glass pretty tight, even harder to close...BUT,
took it back to Acura, they adjusted the bolts holding the compartment in place and...VOILA'.....Now it closes just like stock, both with and without the T-top in storage..no more tightness on the rear glass and just as secure as stock cover (re: shock absorbtion and movement)See...not to worry!
As for the look, Its as good as u can imagine given the materials used...Not cheesy, but not quite as boss as stock.
Overall, I'd give it a 80% visual and 98% functionality grade(2% off for no more lift handle/latch), good enough not to let it be a real issue regarding the Purchase ( at least to me, anyways).
Now that I've seen and used it since it was adjusted, I feel Comptech has done a good job with their revised storage system,especially considering that they probably engineered it on their own...not as flimsy as it first appeared...
However,will let you know if the seams start unraveling...LOL.
Will get those pics up by Sunday, so check back again then....later.
