Default Vehicle for transporting Hardtop?!

I am going to need to go pick up a hardtop. What closed vehicles will a hardtop fit in? I can probably get an escalade esv as the largest on.

Anyone have the dimensions of the hardtop out of box?

Thanks for any help!

If you can install on the spot with your s2k there. It's fairly simple as long as you have all the necessary tools and stuff to install. That way it will save you time and the hassle of transporting. Just an advice...

This is what I did.

I was originally going to do a pickup but my Dad's Pilot nor my Mom's Odyssey was big enough. I was going to steal the girlfriend's family F250 haha.

^^ you can still gut the softtop. The hardtop isn't that hard to install and once it's installed it's really easy to take off and put on. But do whatever you want.

Worked fine in my dads 2005 dodge 1500.

Take some pillows if you want to lay it on the topside

Kinda defeats the purpose of having an S2000 I think.

i drove 300 miles to get my hardtop. installed it, spent the weekend at the pickup spot, and drove it home. The box is HUGE. the hardtop itself is also a strange dimension. very wide.
