My top is due should I replace it or do the hard top ? Car sits stock no wheels in my opinion it would look pretty goofy mugen hard top BTW.

 

Any car with no wheels looks pretty goofy. I'd get wheels before I'd worry about a new top. If you go with the hard top, you'll miss out on those opportunities to drop the top whenever you feel like it. A hard top definitely changes the look of the car.

 

If you find yourself putting the top down quite frequently, then I would say replace the soft top and save some $$$ because you will miss it. I was in the same boat but decided to get a hardtop because I rarely put the top down as it is. I can say that there are times where I wish I could just drop it when it's nice out, but 99% of the time I am happy with the hardtop. I never liked convertibles very much in the first place so that is my reasoning for going that route.

 

Thanks for the advice I live in the south so we have the full range of weather from tornados to cold as fk with the nice times in between and dropping the top is great on the country back roads so I think I'll replace it but as for savingmoney dosent it cost just as much to do either or ? Ive never done it so idk

 

If you drive with the top up much I would get a hardtop. It makes a top up ride a million times better.

 

I replaced my 03's soft top 2 years ago.Here in the south,my top down at least 4-6 times a week.
New Robbins top installed is approx. $800-$1,000.

When (if) you sell,soft top is a good selling feature.

Who installed I live in a sleepy small town of Jackson tn were I'm the only s2000 and I called a guy down here and he wants 1600 labor plus parts

 

I was lurking and ran across this post. If you want an amazing soft top replacement for a good price, get a hold of Jordan Kwolik. Not familiar with Jackson but were in the middle tennessee area. Message me if you want his number. He's also backed up by Billman. Did my engine rebuild and is an awesome guy.

 

Even if you do get the hard top, you'll eventually want the soft top repaired if you use it with any regularity.

 

Hi, Just ran across your post while looking for top info. I'm in the Nashville area and looking for someone to replace my top. Can you send me his number? Thanks, Jack
