A HUGE thank you to Jake and Semir for installing my new soft top yesterday!

Even though it was not a Robbins top, they managed to install it in 2 hours, 15 minutes...less than the 3 hours anticipated!

I will let Jake comment on the Sierra top that he did install...thanks again to you both!

Oh and 1 interesting picture on the drive home...



A little blurry, tough to snap pictures at 77MPH...7's wild! (except for that damn 4!)

glad we could help! The Sierra top was a good fit, I was very pleased with it, just needed new straps and it was good to go. I’d use them again for sure

I'm guessing that isn't the first time that has happened considering the driver came prepared with a couple of wood planks in the trunk

Sometimes I think I'm the only one on here who hasn't lowered their S2000. I get nervous enough about ramps, potholes, and road debris at stock height. Why would I want to make that problem worse?

Marc - I’m not lowered either. Plenty of the guys still at stock ride height.

I was lowered 1" on Eibach springs but when I upgraded to 18" wheels, they rubbed so I had to go back to stock height, been there ever since.

Anyone looking to get their top done, trust me it is worth the trip to go to Jake and Semir!

I drove 6 hours round trip to have mine done and am very glad I did!

I had my top replaced under warranty when I first had the S and it turns out that the installer did not put a bunch of parts back when they installed the new top!

May have even contributed to having to replace the top sooner than if it was installed right.

You hit the nail on the head. Most techs at dealerships have never even seen an S2000, forget having experience working on it.

J & S have done so many of these replacements that they can do it in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost. All the hours they’ve spent on the car allows them to do the job right and way better than any dealership can do.
