PRICING IS HERE
All you might be asking, what took so damn much?? Well, it was the rear window. Finding a manufacture to bend this window in place was easy. Finding a manufacturer that would not charge more then $400 per window, now that was hard. Finally after a month, I found a local manufacture who would take on the project at a low cost if I bought 75 windows at once. This means I'm broke till I sell these windows lol
Another big issue I had was Honda. Since I wanted to provide OEM hardware for additional cost, I had to find a way to get these OEM seals at a low discounted price. After going back and forth, we cut a good deal that will allow me to sell them at around dealer cost. OEM hardware at discount price can only be sold to those who buy a top from me.
Today, we finalized pricing with our manufacture to give us a bigger cut break. Group-buy will open next week for pre-orders. Once group-buy closes, my prices will go up due to losing the manufacture cut break.
I hope you guys are happy with pricing because I had to do a lot to make this happen. Originally, the group buy was going to start off at about $200 dollars more then posted group-buy pricing. Here is the pricing break down that will run next week.

Question for anybody that can chime in. How do the Spyder seals comopare to the OEM seals? I've read great things about the spyder seals, and if OEM is just a tad bit better, may just save the money for something else.
Also, with OEM window seals, will it create the window molding line to match the line with the door?

So it's looking like $3000+ for a fully optioned FRP model, shipped to my door. A little high, but it's nice to at least have the option. A genuine OEM top in Laguna blue pearl is as rare as hen's teeth.
Does anyone know how good the included seals are. An additional $450 for OEM seals is pretty steep.
