Is there a big difference between the coupe, convertible, and fastback "A" pillar trim?
If the fast back cover is shorter, couldn't it also be cut to fit?There is a length difference between coupe and fastback. Convertible don't have the molding transition on the top end. Convertible trim is made cutting the longer trims of the coupe or fastback. Can't remember which was longer.
The fastbacks have the shorter trim. The convertible trim share the same casting numbers as the coupé. Thus, the coupe trim can be cut off to use on a convertible.
Sorry, what I meant was, I have a fastback......could any cover be "modified" to fit the fastback since they are shorter?:-/If the fast back cover is shorter, couldn't it also be cut to fit?There is a length difference between coupe and fastback.

The windshield header is about 1/8" narrower on the coupe. The angles are the same. The coupe one is about one inch longer, but you might take one for a coupe and cut in half, take out an inch and put together with a joint in the vertical leg. Plastex is good for fixing them.Sorry, what I meant was, I have a fastback......could any cover be "modified" to fit the fastback since they are shorter?:If the fast back cover is shorter, couldn't it also be cut to fit?There is a length difference between coupe and fastback.

Thanks for the tip. CJ PonyParts has them for $175 a pair I think too.The windshield header is about 1/8" narrower on the coupe. The angles are the same.
