for snipe99:
the removal is regular latches in the front and one 13mm bolt per side. i'd say removal is one minute per bolt and five seconds for the latches, so it's 125 seconds to remove it. for installing though, lining up the side bolts and threading them in will take longer however.
for s2kdude:
the top is fully bolted down, bottom gaps will be filled by the lower hardtop seal, front corners being pointy can be sanded as desired (by pointy i meant that it stabs into the front seal a bit), so not too much of an issue regarding fitment as everything looks fine, i had bigger skepticism over the iigq kit being sufficient but it appears adequate.
for jcjt:
i haven't altered the screw holes yet, i just need to dremel it a bit and elongate the holes on the latches so it doesn't flex the top. it's an easy thing to do but by the time i get home from work i'm tired and my free time is little at the moment.

you will want to make sure you install the trunk bump stops in case you accidnetly forget and lift your trunk too high up and damage the top. if your good with those side seals 
but if they give you problems i recommend buying some oem seals from a parted soft top and use some black silicone, it will give you the best seal. nice job.

I bought a "C-Wings" top from IIGQ4U more than a year ago and it was delivered to me from Chaser. I wonder if the C-wings I have is what Chaser is selling now. If the hardware is the same one that I got, it doesn't allow you to put up your soft top once you have it installed.
