Default Hardtop Cost?

Greetings folks,

I plan on purchasing the Hardtop from a dealer over here in So. Cal. so I need total cost information from those that have purchased the Hardtop and install from the dealer.

The dealer plans to charge me for the Hardtop, tax, shipping, and installation. If you can give me your total cost out the door or even better, break it down (as per part cost, tax, shipping, and installation)... that would be great.

I did a search on "hardtop cost" and "hardtop price" but could not gather as much information as needed.

Many thanks in advance for your time... it is greatly appreciated.

Try checking one of the Sponsors H-and-A Accessories. He gives very good prices.. You can see what price he offers and then compare it to the price your dealer is offering, and go from there. Just a thought.

please post your results.

Thanks
David

HandA Accessories is where I got mine too. Very efficient guys, and the cheapest around (unless you can get a special discount from the dealer). I think the shipping was about $100. You might also consider whether or not you should buy the HT stand at the same time (also shown on the HandA web page). The stand can only be bought when you place the order for the HT. They won't accept separate orders for it (due to the aditional shipping cost involved). BTW. Do the install yourself; it is really quite simple, and will take you only 2 - 3 hours, using just a few basic tools. (The instructions are also on the HandA web page.)

It took me about 3 hours work. Luckily the final fit was pretty much spot on straight out of the box.
I guess the alarm install varies between dealers. There is no switch on my N.A. model alarm, so that wasn't a problem for me - although I did have to cut the wire to remove the alarm light from the old console and re-splice it on the new one; that was the only problem I had.

i went the easy way. I had the dealer order it, ship it, and do the entire install. Cost me $3500...oh well...it took em about 7 hours and it fits perfectly. If I had f-ed it up....where would I be...anyway...just my .02.
