Mini Review: FRP vacuum infused, unpainted with hardware and lexan window
The hardtop came very well packaged and undamaged. It was painted by my bodyshop and the window was installed professionally. I took it home and installed it the same day. Install took about 30 mins. The hardtop is REALLY light and is absolutely straight/no defects. The seals are excellent. Fitment is very good although its a bit tricky (someone has to be pushing down on the top while you are bolting it. I greased it heavily with shin-etsu but there is some screeching coming from the bracket rubbing against the fiberglass when driving on uneven roads but i got some rubber washers which hopefully will fix the problem. Wind noise is non existent when bolted down properly (someone pushing against the top). No leaks whatsoever from the seals and no gaps. Service was excellent and Alberto answered any questions I had. Shipping was slow though so order way in advance.

I had a noise that I thought was the sound of the bracket rubbing it turned out it was the hard top rubbing on the oem
Black piece the goes around the soft top (not sure what it's called) but it use to make sounds of death while driving right next to my ear ! I adjusted the seal more outward and it solved the problem and now there is no squeaking at all

REVIEW:
I went over to these guys' place in Long Beach a couple of weeks ago to get a vacuum frp top. I was very happy with the experience. The quality of the hardtop is great (very sturdy), the fitment is excellent, and the paint (if you get it painted) is really good. For the price they are offering and the quality of the product, this thing is a steal. If you are debating about getting the hardtop, trust me just get it. I'm even thinking about removing the soft top just because the hardtop looks so damn good! Thanks again guys!

I need a price on the items below:
Vacuum Infusion with double sided carbon fiber
Painted New Formula Red on the exterior, but carbon fiber left on the interior with 50% scratch resistant lexan back glass installed. Or maybe the dry carbon done the same way, what ever you think is best. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Josh
