Default Hardtop paint/install

Hey guys, I'm gonna be ordering a hardtop at some point this week, and was wondering if there were any good shops to get it painted and installed 100% correctly lol.

I live in Miami Beach, so anywhere in Miami is good. Just want it to come out perfect.

install isn't hard as long as you have basic knowledge of tools and a friend to help you

yeah the actual installation of the hardtop and disassembling the interior is pretty straightfoward, but the window is another story atleast for me. any idea who does installations of these windows in the South FL area?

yea basically, i had already mounted the hardtop (mugen rep) and it fit great i did the whole install myself. but i'd rather leave installing the rear window for someone with experience, wouldn't want to be driving down the highway and poof there goes my window lol. do you know of any place that does these installs?

I had a friend just use window silicone adhesive and he put the window on himself. It worked. Not too difficult.

its probably not to big of a deal installing it, but i'll just go with a professional do it for me since im going to get a tempered glass rear window. if im going to spend the cash on the glass rear minus well have it installed right. now onto finding somewhere where they install them, called Safelite the other day and told them i needed to get my rear plexi glass installed on a hardtop for an S2000 and they said they couldn't do anything for me since they dont work on convertibles and the plexi is a polymer not a glass so the adhesive they have wont work on plexi. with all the advertising they do one would think that they would install any type of window on any type of car, but no.
