^ HT has better resale value down the road; gears can be a liability.

That said, that's totally a personal taste thing. Hardtops are awesome, but like Saki I'd never have one on my car, even in winter, because I'm always dropping the top.

Anyone know how good the Vis or Seibon are? like fitment/quality.etc...
I plan on getting an authentic MUGEN HT in fiberglass.

Mugen is really sweet, but a very different look from stock. I think I've seen Seibon, but I'm not familiar with Vis.

Take a look through the gallery forum and I think there's a thread on hardtops. Not sure....

It does look good, but in sunny Fla, you'll find yourself not using I think. If you really want to drop $3k on your S, get 4.57 gears installed. Best bang for your buck - costs around $1k.
Okay I am pretty mechanical but 4.57 gears?? I need some help with what this would do and where I can get them.
