NutinbutVTEC,

Get a front spoiler, makes the car look more menacing with the hardtop. Went to family bday today and uncle saw car with my hardtop on. He then asks how much is that and states it looks awesome. He then asked if it cost me $50k or something, I then stated it was only $32k. Funny how s2k looks like it costs more huh.

Also in regards to noise(leak), roll window all the way down while driving then roll it back up. Let me know if sound disappears. If it's just wind rush then that's normal but definitely way way quieter than stock. Engine noise seemed to be more pronounced since cabin is now sealed.

i love the engine noise when the top's on. it also makes the quality of the the stereo (although mine is upgraded) much better.

Looks good. Now all you need is the honda FRONT and REAR spoilers! That would really complete the package!

After I get my springs and intake, I will most likely be getting the top secret front bumper. I am not sure what I want to do with the rear. Also does anyone have the top secret front on a Suzuka? I have seen the bumper on yellow and think it looks awesome, but I have not seen it in blue yet.

Why does it look as though there is a black trim on the Suzuku Blue yet the yellow hartop pictured below has no such black trim. See it? Above the windows?
I'm not talking about the black windshield tape I'm talking about ON the hardtop itself

NutinbutVTEC, your car is beautiful!
This is the first Suzuka I have seen with a hardtop, very cool.
I just can't imagine having this car without the hardtop option.

hmmm.........

have you tried "adjusting" the top side to side (i don't know how else to describe it) ??

OR

the roof isn't sitting low enough (the rear catches may be resting a couple of mm's too high) and therefore creating a gap between the top of the window and the underside of the roof on the sides.

the windows should fit snug under the roof lip......

FWIW, i have virtually no wind noise........

it's just an adjustment thing.......don't worry about it too much.
