nice pics. Your car looks definitely better with the hard tops and new rims. Very nicely done

What are you doing with the old tires? (he ask needing new shoes for his SSR GT1s) BTW, looks very nice/clean. I think it would look a lot better about an inch lower.

CHracer, great photos as always. The hardtop looks fantastic.


Interesting to learn about the black windshield surround. I would be really curious to see an S with the OEM hardtp and the painted windshield surround... maybe it would look even more like a coupe and less like a convertible with a top stuck on?

CHracer, Great pics man. Your car looks sweet.

It makes me want to go out and buy a hard top too.... All of your are the devil! I'm going to go broke looking at all your nice cars.

I think the HT install looks very clean, however Im going to have to agree with Calpilot7. Maybe its just the picture or the angle it was shot but... yeah.

CH, looks great! I just put the hardtop back on my Spyder for it's fourth winter run. I like the S top but IMO it really needs the low style rear deck spoiler with it to look the best. Something about that little lip jutting out there gives the rear end just enough extra length and changes the line enough to really balance it out well.

Having seen five 04's in four different colors in person now, I think that most photos really don't do the new front end justice. Most of them are shot from up close instead of zoomed in from a distance and that tends to distort and over accentuate the size of the opening and the body lines on the corners. It looks much better in person. The only thing I wish they would have done is to soften those hard edges right at the lower corners of the opening where the new line starts. If they would have rounded them off or beveled them in it would have looked better to me. I like the shape of new opening much better though.
