Default Good place to install hardtop?

I am thinking of getting a hardtop in the coming weeks. I was wondering which places you went to in the bay area to get it installed.

How much was it? How long did it take?

you can do it yourself in about 15 minutes or so. I've done it on a couple of S2000's and it really isn't too hard to do. look up the DIY in the under the hood section of the forum or you can always PM me if you need any help.

yeah, just make sure you have a person around to lend a hand lifting the hardtop up onto the car after everything is ready to go. piece of cake.

Search for the DIY. It's pretty straight forward. Doesn't take 15 min to install though lol. Roughly about an hour if doing right.

doing it the first time might take 1-2 hours because you don't know what you're doing.

doing it a second time takes 20 min, excluding any time to adjust if necessary. it's actually really easy.

Make sure when installing the side catchers to not tighten any of the bolts until you have them all started.
