Default Hardtop help in Atlanta?

I'm considering buying a hard top for my car. Given that the OEM ones are pretty hard to find in LBP, I'm weighing my options as far as third party tops. The issue with those is that you have to paint them, install trim, and install the rear window.

I'm reasonably competent mechanically, but I *really* do not want to screw something like this up. Bottom line is that I'd like the work done by an experienced shop in the Atlanta area.

Ideally what I'd like done is to have the hardtop shipped directly to the shop, have them paint it, trim it, then install it on my car for a reasonable fee.

Does anyone know of any shops in the Atlanta area that could handle this for me? I'm not sure if the Honda place would install a third party top since it's not theirs.

Thanks.

i would talk to bryce at wagenwerks. he should be able to give you a decent price and i know his work is really good.

but really, almost any body shop would work for this. just call around to a few places and see what they offer you.

side note, you going to be at the atlanta s2k meet next sunday?

After weighing my options I think I'm just going to buy a new OEM hard top and have the Honda Dealership install it. Most of the third party kits are messy to assemble, install, and paint and there are just no OEM Laguna blue tops for sale second hand anywhere.

Editing this because to be honest I can't part with my top -- it just looks too damn good. But GL with your search. You'll love the way it makes your car look!

Im in the Atl area also, just installed the Black OEM hardtop (which I ordered from Orlando Honda) for right around 3k shipped.

It is an easy install, I can offer you a hand also if you want it
