Those who replaced soft top, what brand/model did you replace with and what are your thoughts on quality?
Those who replaced wheel bearings/hub/knuckles, where did you go to get the hubs and bearings pressed in/out?
Probably gonna do these maintenance items during my off season. In a couple of months.

I replaced mine with a robbins soft top. Great quality at a good price. Really not that had to complete by yourself. Took me and a friend one saturday with pizza and beer to do the whole swap.

i replaced mine with Vinyl. Not sure how the cloth would hold up out here. I also did the plastic to glass rear window conversion, therefor i cant comment on if the window from robbins is smaller then OEM.

We replaced my top with a Robbins black stayfast Haartz cloth top. Took a weekend to do since I had to run and buy supplies and what not. The color of the black cloth is much darker than the OEM vinyl. It looks good, but even with minimal use since I got it, it's showing a little wear. It looks really good right after its cleaned. I found that if I let it air dry it looks better than if i use my absorber cloth to dry it. I got mine from topsonline.com. All the holes and everything matched up fine and there's not problem with fitment. Rear window and seams are good, so no leaks. I have one problem that might be installation error on my part, but when i drive with the windows down and the top up, it flaps in the middle of the roof, which the OEM didn't. Like i said though, might be i put it on wrong. It doesn't bother me enough to take it apart again lol.

The flapping seems to be coming from right in the middle of the roof. I'll try and stick some Velcro next time I take the hardtop off. I also found that the stray cats like to sleep on the cloth top much more than the vinyl or hardtop lol.
I posted in the tech day thread about a valve adjustment and spark plug DIY. Felipe said you knew how to do them. If we can get a tech day together you're more than welcome to take a look.

For the AEM Wideband 02 Sensor, If i replace my primary 02 with the AEM 02, Will I have any issues with a Stock ECU? I havnt wired my wideband in yet but i was considering just wiring power and ground. No signal will be going to the ECU so im uncertain the repercussions will be if the ECU cant read the AFR.
Any insight on this?
