Smile Hardtop

With the current shortage of hardtops, I'm afraid they may never be in production again...
So I decided to spend the cash and buy mine before they were all gone.

Here is what I got back:
"James,
Unfortunately the Spa tops are no longer available. They have been discontinued from Honda. I will try to find you a used one in perfect condition.
I'll let you know if I have any luck."


So I'm too late.

If anybody knows of someone locally or w/ in a few hundred miles selling a Spa HT in the near future please keep me in mind.

I would appreciate any leads!!
Shipping is not a problem, finding one is!!
I have seen very few Spa's pop up on here in the last year and most folks that do post, don't want to ship.

I just want my hard top.

I could always go Carbon Fiber seeing as I can order the Seibon from work, but I really have my mind set on the factory top. I want a glass window, a full wrap around window, an all metal opposed to composite, and I just like the lines of the factory one better.

Anyone...
Anyone....
Bueller......

Have you attempted to e-mail Jeff at Hardtopguy.com? If not, give him a try. He usually can find one pretty quickly.

Good luck in your search.

Yeah, that's where I tried to purchase mine. From his website. The email above was Jeff's email to me.

Although I did find this too https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=327491
So the man has plenty on his plate it looks besides finding me a top.

Rats!!

I suggest you check with the Honda Dealership in Topeka. I know someone that just recently got one from them without any problems...??

I can't remember the contact name but he is the parts manager...

Good luck!

I'll call Monday. Did they have it on the shelf??

I already have tried a few dealerships... the response is "discontinued" from all.
The problem being Honda Corp doesn't have any, so the dealers can't order them. So unless for some reason they have one on the shelf, highly unlikely, there aren't any to be had. Unless there is a secret stash somewhere.
Hardtopguy bought the last of them from Honda directly.
I emailed Jeff/HTG back asking about a Berlina black... I think I would be okay w/ a black top. I originally wanted to go that route anyway, so if he has some black, looks like I'll hopefully have one on the way.
Awaiting a response.

Well I contacted the 2 dealerships suggested and a few more...
Topeka did a national search and found one... I called and no dice. The dealership says they show one, but don't have it.
I had a local dealer call Honda of NA and they also did a search w/ the same results. On top of that (not to spread rumors) whomever they talked to at HNA said the top has permanently been discontinued.
So we will see...

(looks like I'm fond of my thread, I have posted three times in a row... Just let me be, I'll just talk to myself. )
