Spend the extra $100 and go with the stayfast IMO.
Looks a lot classier. if you want to have a look at
mine sometime let me know.
And one other thing if you want to tint it do it before
the install, it's an absolute bitch to do on the car.

Cheers

Thanks Peter... would be great if I could have a look at yours... can compare the fabric with my OEM roof.

Im in the inner city area... let me know when you are free for me to look at it.

Taxxed.... I was thinking the same thing... if insurance, how did you score an upgrade?

the OEM came back at 3500+ the aftermarket one came back at $2350...same price from 2 different shops, at first they said no...but then I said that's what I would prefer and then they said yes (guess why!)

I installed the stayfast canvas top about a month ago. Took about 12 hours. If you can get it installed for $500 its a bargain. Whats the go with all the missing rivets?? lol
