Well, thanks for all the info. After I get the sample for the blue boot and its good\close to my interior I will give it a shot. My biggest concern is just keeping the paint and trim unmolested. If I can manage that I will use it. More than likely it would just be for shows and certain days anyway as the top will be up to keep it straight and in good condition.
The ones I have seen look good with boot. Since this is my first vert its a new deal for me.
