Introduction to Auto Restyling Auto makers offer a wide range of car models. Within each model type they also offer a range of choices. On the surface it would seem that you could select a car that would be almost unique to you. Unfortunately, that is not the case. When you consider the number of units of each model sold there is bound to be overlap. Suddenly, you notice that every second car on the street looks like yours. You are no longer unique. You are one of the crowd. How can you stand out; make yourself and your choice of car different. You can restyle it. What is restyling? Restyling is adding a unique element to your car. This element should be highly visible so your changes are noticeable everywhere. Restyling your car can be fun. It can also increase the value of your car depending on the restyling option you choose. Finally, with the right restyling options your car (and you) can stand out from the me too crowd. So what restyling option is best for me? We can t tell you that but in this report we will explain the benefits on one of the most visible options. One restyling option you should consider is the addition of a simulated convertible top for your car. This addition makes your car look like a convertible without some of the downsides. Let s face it; convertibles are noisier and more likely to allow dust and dirt to enter, even when the top is closed. There is also a cost to maintaining a convertible. On the other hand, a hard top avoids these issues and results in a more comfortable drive. In this report we have tried to answer most of the commonly asked questions Copyright Designs By Lawrence Inc. 2013 4
about auto restyling with simulated convertible tops. In addition, we have included links to our website which provide more information and images of cars sporting this restyling option. If you prefer, just call us with your questions or for a quote. We will be delighted to share our enthusiasm for restyling autos and trucks with you. 1-800-543-9373 Simulated Convertible Tops The Pinnacle of Auto Restyling Introduction To Simulated Convertible Tops Do you own an automobile?

And you can get all this for a small fraction of what you paid for your car. Are Simulated Convertible Roof Treatments New? These roof treatments have been in and out of fashion since the beginning of the American auto industry. The first car body makers were the guys who made the horse-drawn carriages before cars took their place. These guys took their skills and applied them to the horseless carriage or car industry. It isn t surprizing that they also brought their styling to car bodies. That is why the cloth top is sometimes referred to as a carriage top or a Landau top. As with other fashions the demand for simulated convertible tops came and went Copyright Designs By Lawrence Inc. 2013 6
over the years. When it was in fashion, auto makers offered it as an option on high-end cars. When demand fell, they stopped offering it. But independent providers stepped in to meet the demand and continued to provide custom tops. For auto buffs, this styling option never went out of style. Where Can I Get A Simulated Convertible Top?
