i need to replace my top also. it seems that stayfast is a beach to maintain in contrast to the denim. at first i was thinking about going grey with stayfast but the safe color was black and in my situation i'd prefer the denim due to lesser maintenance issues.

@s2k aok - what sort of maintenance does it need?

I bought the EZ On top from ebay seller hindsightseeing for $468 shipped in the OEM vinyl denim. Great top and ease of maint. is a plus for me. took me about 7 hours to install and the results are amazing.

I installed the robbins one on my miata and it took nearly the entire 2 weeks of winter vacation perhaps it was the trouble of modifying the straps to accept a glass window.. or handicapping caused by beer drinking.. who knows. The professionals did it in a day and I am really happy with it. Btw-like the post above, these do not come with straps, so if yours are worn out, then I would purchase them separately and install.
where can i get the straps from.

xrapidx: it is called medium grey on their color list. Call them, they'll mail you a sample swatch. sorry my pic is not a good representation of the actual color.

dopesilverstone: sorry, I didn't need to replace my straps so I'm afraid I don't have answer for you.. I'm sure someone on the forum would know.. hopefully they'll chime in.

When i talked to the ebay seller of the EZ On tops he explained that the new straps come with the 00-01 glass window tops. If you are looking for replacement straps for the 2-3 bow, check out modifrys website.

ok so i orderd the less expensive hv denim with glass window no defroster, hope it is a good buy read some good overall reviews and it has a 5 year warranty, it sounds pretty promising. my only challenge now is the install and with my lack of patience and the est. 8 hr install its not gonna be fun....any local bay area s2k'ers feel free to chime in for a soft top install day lol

You take care of stay-fast just like any other top. Brush it with soap and water, dry and apply vinyl protection. It's cake.
