I think its even heavier than getting a hard top plus the cr tonneu combined... (I don't really know for sure)

I'm thinking of doing this too, soon... I want to get some info too.

I would leave the top and remove the motors - why exactly do you want to remove it?

I took off everything, softtop, frame, and motor when i installed my cf vis hardtop.
Believe me, the whole softtop is weighs a good amount, i say go for it.

My entire assembly weighed 68 lbs. The motors aren't heavy at all, just a couple of lbs each. I think I saved about 20 lbs after the hardtop went on, not worth it just for weight savings unless you are a track whore.
