No, that's just it. The Top folds to rest against the roll bar, completely obscures the top of speaker box/engine cover. Just check out the .wmv files at their site for confirmation.

Wonder how many Rhodes Scholars forked over 700 former Presidents before making that minor discovery? Whuaaa - Whuaaa !

And, it's really poorly designed to begin with. It looks like someone's Shade Tree or Cub Scout project with all the pop rivets, square cut Lexan and surface mounting.

If they stylized it from Carbon Fiber with a rounded-edged Lexan window and sound port molded in flush with the rest of the piece, at least then it would look somewhat professional. And might better appeal to all the Blingers who have a hard-on for CF. And then, they could probably eek another couple hundred dead guys from them too. I bet if you look up the inventor's genealogy, you'll find an ancestor named Barnum...lol

It's all about the sound which is why I said to just cut some sound ports or add a grill to the existing cover. You could even 'louver' the engine cover for the same effect and a lot less moolah.

For me, it's not a Gottahave. I'll take a set of Tires instead.
