The people who like that kind of stuff on the cars they drive are dying off. That is going to be a thing of the past. Actually, it already a thing of the past. I work in a retirement community and saw an old guy who had that done to his malibu

I have seen that type of Camry at a dealership down here. Fits perfectly with Florida, I used to see Caddys everywhere like that.

The steel wheels and hubcaps matches the luxurious canvas top quite well.

Ok I'm throwing up now.....

BTW, this must be an American thing, because I have never seen any of these new model cars with that type of roof in Australia. It's just not normal.

I see stuff like that all of the time. It was common to see Naples edition cars when I lived in Ft. Myers.

If you guys think those are bad you should see this CTS that a dealer has down here. It's got gold wheels with whitewalls, gold trim, and a custom convertible softop. It would actually look kind of cool if it wasn't for the gold and the wheels.

Oh after closer inspection to the images, these canvas tops, they are just placed on-top of the original roof? I was thinking that they totally chopped these cars and replaced it with the canvas haha. I see, hmm. Well at least they can be taken off quite easily right?

Any dealer that does this should have their franchise revoked.
