There may be a few options for you in Orlando.

Bob's Top Shop in Winter Park.

I've heard great things but I never actually gone myself.

Make sure to go to a place that has done these tops before . I have seen several that where done by upholstery shops after buying the OEM top and just having the shop do the install and WOW what a mess . noises and rattles from the parts being put together wrong . Just make sure to go to a place that has experience with replacing specifically S2000 tops .

on most things I'd agree. But in this case, no way. The top is extremely difficult and time consuming. Take it to a pro with experience.

It's not in Orlando, but if you are willing to drive a few miles, there is a place here in Lakeland. I've had work don on my Volvo here and the Benz dealer also uses this place. I stopped by on my way home tonight to ask about an S2K. He's done a few of them and quoted me a price of 350.00 for labor if you bring the top. Hope this helps.
