Definitely keep us posted on this. Hell I have been saving for a replacement for a bit. I really would like to see pics and know the details once you get it done if you don't mind.

Cant vouch for their product, but Im pissed with them because they keep using a picture of my car without my permission on their auctions. That top they picture is not their top.. its MY original top that came on my car BRAND NEW. I've sent them numerous emails to remove the picture with no luck.

Makes me wish I could take legal action and have them replace my top as a settlement lol

Did you get it put on yet? It would be great if you posted up some detailed pics for everyone here. These cars are getting old and I'm sure there are a few guys on here that are looking into new tops.
