Who needs a house when you have a hardtop.

PRICE

Challenge loves to overprice their product. Since they were the only manufacture that had a OEM top in CF, they can price it whatever they want.
Challenges top is FULL cf at 4k without OEM hardware.

I can easily make a pre preg top (dry carbon) and still beat that price (8-10lbs top alone)
Challenges top is about 25lb with rear window installed.

My top will be around 20-22lbs with rear window lexan installed. Tops can be made lighter upon request.

Update: FRP top is made and will be getting pictures up soon. CF 1x1 and 2x2 should be out by the end of the week.
