1Y2KS2K:

Just curious as to where you work? I might have seen your car.

1Y2KS2K

I work in OXnard and Port Hueneme. I only know of one other white in our area - that's CA STOOK from Moorpark (who works in Westlake).

what's the best price/source for the hardtop with installation anyone has found? One of the sponsors? A dealership?

RTS

I paid $2700 for the top and $150 for the installation at the dealer I bought the car from.

I called my dealership and that's the same price they quote me - $2800...sounds fair.

thanks for the reply

Because I put 82k miles on my old '98 Cobra, I don't intend to do the same with my new S2000.

For $3 grand, I intend to buy a beater Camry rather than a hardtop for my S2000 during the winter months.

If you consider all of the costs involved (tires, depriaciation, out-of-warranty repairs), it doesn't pay to drive the S2000 year round.

Just my 2 cents.

RTS

I agree it would not be worth driving year round due to snow, salt, snow tires ....

But here in Wisconsin it is ideal for the transition months (starting very soon unfortunately) late fall and early spring where the top will need to be up but the snow doesn't fly.

It's safer: Large rear glass window with much smaller blind spots and rear window defroster. No headlights 'flashing' in the ripples of the plastic rear window. It's quieter and has the finished interior appearance due to the insulated headliner.

In adddition due to the "GT" look it gives the car, not to mention the matching color red in my case, it gives you 2 different looking cars both of which look great.

I also realize I am lucky in that I have a fullsize 4x4 pickup to use for the actual winter months.

Am also debtaing HT option for S2000 here in Maryland. I understand the factory one is nice (and around $2800). If I am not mistaken (I may be) - there are two Mugen HTs. One is CF (and more expensive) and the other is fiberglass? I've read some of the other threads but was wondering if anyone had any specific feedback on the different Mugen pieces. I've heard the Honda HT is better, but not specifically why (besides the paint).

THANKS!

I have it and love it. It is like i have 3 different cars. HT, softtop, and conv. The car sounds different in every combo.

It is really nice to have if you live where it rains. I do...so I love it. The soft top is water proof, but who wants to just abuse it. I love driving my S2K every day...rain or shine...so the hardtop rocks. I had teh dealer install it...took like 6 hours, but mine is super quiet and works great. I recommend it.
