After a little debate, I decided I couldn't pass up the deal that Jeff at Ganley Honda was offering on the OEM Hardtops. So after a few emails, and exchanges of information I ordered one about a month ago. Last week Jeff let me know that it had arrived and I made arrangements to drive out from NYC to North Olmsted, Ohio to get it installed on Thursday.

Here is my car about to embark on a 1000 mile journey.

Some of the hardtops that are going to fellow S2ki members this weekend

Here is Jeff and Techs David and Tom working on my car.

Final outcome



Final thoughts, you couldn't ask for nicer guys then Jeff and the folks at Ganley. While I was there, I was able to get my seatbelt recall, spark plug recall, diff, tranny, and oil fluid changed. Work was done on time as promised since I was on a time schedule. I would definetly recommend them if you need an OEM part. His prices are probably the best around.

Looks sweet dude , maybe you remember me from the New Hope meet way back in April i was the only one with a hardtop on that day. How do you like it so far? The defrost button in the coin holder really cleans that space up quite nicely in the cabin, plus that defrost is gonna come in handy with these crappy northeast winters we have

liquid, yup, I remember you (sorry forgot your name). My initial impression on the hardtop is it's amazing how it makes the interior seem more roomy. A lot more headroom and the rear window makes all those stupid blindspots disappear. The stock speakers become a notch better as well.

Whats up S2000vtec i remember you we sat at the restaurant together. Did your buddy ever get his S yet or what. The other dude that sat with us(PA S2000) now has the speedcraft turbo in his red one. Really nice setup although he's worried about reliability & wants to lower the compression. Hope to see you at the next meet

Hey turbo_pwr what are your impressions of the mugen N-0's i have a set on order from King. Do you have them set at soft for the street? Would you say the car feels & handles much better than stock with those shocks? I'm just trying to get an idea of what i'm getting myself into, thanks.

So what factors made you decide to get a hardtop anyway? Climate? Daily Driver? Appearance? Head Room?....

Is it rude to ask what you paid?
