Edit: I may be way off, in the old days we didn't have all the enviromental BS, fees, disposal, and the cost of the new booths I am sure have gone up, etc. So I am just old and think things shoujldn't cost as much.

I have been surpised at the rate of increase in the labor rate in the last 10 years. I think there, more than anywhere else, is where the costs have risen.

Thats why it should be removed!

I've heard if you remove the convertable top, your motor blows up.

Also, StreetDreamz helped another member swap out tops at my house- it did not take a whole day to do.

The roof well - not the just the top itself.

Morning Chad, hope all is well.

Sorry took so long to get back with you Mark - had to do some moderating on DragVa.

Friend Chris from work just came upstairs - his 98' Integra LS was stolen last night, right out infront of his house

What roof well? I've removed the plasitc tray that keeps the top from sagging down when stowed. That took about 30 minutes because it was a pain to get to.
