2005 hardtop
#26
Boy do I feel lucky! I had ordered a hardtop from a dealer and was told a week later that they were not available, that they might be able to get one around July 2006. Cancelled that order and called Hardtop Guy who had a Silverstone top coming in a week later. I received my hardtop one day before the first message came out regarding unavailability. I have not installed it yet, but set it on the car, and it looks awesome from every angle. Extra rear glass will make winter driving a lot safer and the "character" lines in the top of the roof really adds some flair. Couldn't be happier.

Reviews done by car mag testers are not "real world" daily impressions. They drive the crap out of the cars they test because that's all the time they have with the cars. In the real world, the hardtop keeps out the MOST intrusive noise of all - WIND! I think for this discussion, someone who has access to a decibel meter, should mount the thing at driver's ear level and go for all kinds of driving scenarios - sedate driving, "cop magnet" driving, top up, top down, with hardtop. Then we'll see true data. I'm going to guess that wind noise during spirited driving will far exceed any mechanical noise a stock S2000 will make. Just giving "impressions", we don't tend to give much credit to wind noise as this is something "natural", but when we hear mechanical noise, it's "OH MY GAWD, WHAT'S THAT?"
