Personalize your vehicles at T & A Toppers in FL

"In the 1950's and 1960's, the first thing a person would do when they purchased a car or truck would be to jazz it up a bit," T & A Toppers owner Paul Dolphy offered. "People started to get away from that in the 1990s. You see many vehicles out on the street that look exactly the same."
Customers that take advantage of some of the many accessories offered at T & A Toppers find it fun and easy to create a unique identity for their vehicle.
"Along with giving your car or truck its own identity, many of the accessories are designed to protect your vehicle, and nowadays a vehicle is a considerable investment," said Dolphy.
Dolpy offers a complete line of mud flaps, running boards, grille guards and hood shields. All in an array of colors and styles.
If you are in the market for some unique vinyl graphics to add color and style to your car and truck, this is the place to visit. T & A Toppers is located at 132 SW 19th St. in Forest Lake's Everton Park development, in the Koppy Motors building, directly across from Novak's GM Center.
Pinstriping, lettering, Looney Tunes characters including Taz, Betty Boop, and Chroma Toonz, a radical graphic design line, (and much more) are available.
And like many other products, if Dolphy doesn't have it in stock, he's happy to order it at no extra cost and provide quick delivery.
Dolpy added that plastic vent visors (for trucks that don't have side vents), have become very popular. The visors are secured to the top portion of the window. When a driver rolls down the window an inch or two, the vent enables the air to circulate inside the cab before flowing out.
"It's a great idea and product for people that smoke," said Dolphy.
He added that he'll soon offer a number of NASCAR-related products like bumper stickers, license tags and window decals.
Summer is just around the corner, and cold and snow is the furthest thing on most people's minds. But not for the folks that have snowplows on their trucks.
"Many people work on their snowplows during the summer," Dolpy said. "We're an authorized dealer and sales and service outlet for both Diamond and Western snowplows."
As always, T & A Toppers offers a complete line of the latest and most popular truck toppers liners and fiberglass bed lids, along with parts like props, handles, windows, and doors. The store is also the place to go for all of your trailer hitch needs, including wiring and trailer hitch balls. Dolphy said that shadow mount hithces for cars are popular because they don't stick out as much as regular hitches. They're barely visible. Installation on all products is available and affordable.
Business hours are 9-6 Monday through Wednesday and Friday, 11-8 on Thursday, and 9-1 on Saturday. For additional information call 464-0919.
