Default Clear panels instead of a hard top?

I was running errands this weekend and saw this 2 door JK with top down in our 30 degree weather. Thought it was odd so I went to check it out and noticed that they had these clear plastic covers on the back and top closing the Jeep in but giving it a fully topless look. I couldn't stick around to talk to the owner. I've never seen these in any catalog or on any other Jeep for that matter. Has anyone heard of these or know what they are? I liked it!

Was it the Wade Skytop maybe?

No, they were clear and looked like just 2 pieces - one over the top and one covering the back. I like the Wade ones though.

Those wade ones are pretty sweet. These clear ones you are talking about, did the cover the full top or were their gaps and such?

Just one clear piece across the top, as far as I could tell, and one clear piece across the back. It honestly just kind of looked like some cheap plexiglass custom fit or something. If I see him around town again I'll snap some pictures...
