Default TTR owners...just curious, how many here have ordered or are considering the softboot cover..

...being sold at Stratmosphere? I really want to get something that I can store behind a seat as opposed to taking up valuable trunk real estate. I've gone ahead and put myself on the list, but he has to get several more orders before he can place his order. Anyone else thinking about it?

BTW, this is not intended as an advertisement, but I guess it might kind of seem that way. I'm just curious to know if a few people are considering it or if it's out of the question for many of you.

I'm thinking about it but it seems a little pricey. I'd really like to see it in person before I commit.

I was just about to write the same thing. Would like to see it.

Default I've placed my order

Like you, I like the idea of easy to carry cover... I've been pleased with Stratmosphere products before, Im sure this is nice (but a little pricy)... Hope they get the group they need to make it happen...

Default Yeah, me too, but I think a picture is about as good as it's going to get

I'm looking at it this way. Stratmosphere hasn't let me down yet. Everything I've gotten from them is of extremely high quality and I'm just going to trust them on this one. The pictures look good and I think anything like this is pricey because it's a low volume item and custom fit.

Default I really like the idea but don't think it looks as good as the original. I don't like the wrinkles

that are evident in the picture. To me, it looks like it's loose. If it looked as good as the original, I'd probably get one.

Default I consider it a trade-off...the original looks better because it's rigid, but it stores poorly...

...because it's rigid. It's not like I'm going to throw the OEM cover away, and I'll still have it around and use it when I'm home, but the soft cover will make a road trip way more pleasant while allowing me to cover the boot on those lovely top-down days. I consider it a nice addition.

I'd say you have justified this. I'm wavering yet.
