Default My Custom Built Tonneau Cover for TT Roadster

Since the maker that used make these tonneau covers no longer does, I've been forced to build one myself. Here's the first pass, built in cardboard.

I came into my shop today and had them fit it today and it was overdone a bit. Some new edits were made and I will be returning on a more frequent basis for fitment and adjustments.

I would but don't like the look. Also, it's impractical and wouldn't fit in the trunk. What if you had to put the top up to go inside somewhere, or for a unexpected rain shower?
However, it's perfect with those funky chrome roll bars.

I had a tonneau cover on my mr2 spyder and I had it cut in half for storage purposes. This will fit in the trunk.

As far as the look, im uncertain if I am going to attempt to make a direct copy of the one pictured, or lean toward other designs (solstice, 350z, sky, etc)

Having to cut it in half is a radical modification and poor design, don't you think?
How is this one going to fit in the trunk, when the original one is designed to fold on each end to fit in the trunk? No way it'll fit in the trunk in one piece.
