Any hard top will fit - that said, if you found a good price on a hard top it is probably not OEM but a replica.

Make sure you check if it's a genuine OEM Honda hard top or a replica top before you buy it.

Hardtop will fit but since you have an 01 I'm guessing you have a plastic window on the softtop, so you might need the defroster harness if you want to use the one on the hardtop.

^^In the middle of the picture you'll see a defroster harness and button, those are what you'll need if you wanted to use the defroster.

Also make sure if the hardware is included you get every single piece, bolt and nut needed from the seller.

Hardtop comes with no hardware at all just the top looking at the link you posted do you need everything to mount the top ?
My car has a glass window fitted to soft top but defroster doesn't work as not hooked up

Lol guys he is in the UK and the used prices for OEM tops there is much much more reasonable. I would think that havinf rockstar ship a top overseas would make the replica more expensive then the OEM for him.

For the OEM top look for one that comes with the hardware because the hardware can get pretty expensive. You could buy the aftermarket hardware for it but it is much harder to remove the top with the aftermarket stuff than the OEM. If you have to buy hardware hit up Enjoy racing on here and they can help you out with it.

Wtf!! Only 500 euros and free shipping?!? You guys are lucky. Not even our replica hardtops are that cheap. That's about 700 dollars if not less
