Wow those tints are dark in the first pic they look like 5%
Evidently Georgia has different laws anout tint than TN and FL. I need to get my sides tinted now but not as dark as the back.

The two hammers on the driveway make me nervous - those aren't car tools (:
That's probably the first time I've seen a 2L S2000 with the 04 wing and wheels but not the front bumper. Looks good.

When you install a hardtop, there are two tabs you need to bend back, hence the hammers. Got me nervous when I did it to mine, but now it's no problem. We removed the hardtop from the first car along with the brackets and wiring harness, returned it to stock, and installed it on caneintn's car in a little over an hour for the whole deal.
BTW, Tom's car is really clean for those interested in buying it. He's got a little camera on his house to watch it 24/7
If you paint it black, I'd think about removing the tape and painting the frame black to match. That way it's alot smoother and a better match. When you see the black hardtop next to the tape, the tape looks grey more than black.
Congrats on the hardtop, don't see many fellow Sebring Silver owners out there. I can't wait until I get my hardtop, I'm in the same situation as you cuz I don't know if I want to get it Sebring Silver, or Berlina Black.......
A big thanks to Cyclon36 for help with the install. Tom the owner of the other S2K was a little shocked at first when Joe asked if he had a hammer. I wasn't paying much attention until I noticed him pounding a bracket with the hammer and a screwdriver on my car.
I am working with a local Chattanooga owner who has a berlina black top. I hope to meet with him and try the top on my car so I can make up my mind on which way to go. Definitely agree with needing to paint the windshield rail if I go with black.
