I bought in 2007, it wasn't hard to find a clean '02-03. And I didn't want to upgrade the top later. And I wanted to easily replace the stock crap speakers with decent components, since done, because I dailied the car in Chicagoland traffic for 4 years. See how someone else's usage makes their preferences not so "odd"?

this car started life as an 01.. plastic window was all messed up.. top had a few wounds, a tree branch saw to the plastic windows last breath.. and I had to face this decision.. I went with plastic,, why.. cause it give me a feeling I can see something more.. if an when the top is up...
however it's a weight saving thing.. has to be at least an hp or a tq or something.. 10 % i'm sure plastic over glass...

I agree with NDAZONE. I am an original owner of a 2001 with 28000 miles. Had my top vandalized a few years back and made a point of replacing it with an OEM top with plastic window. Want to keep the car as original as possible. Also, rarely take the car out now and when I do it is top down.

Hope this helps, I have the old plastic rear window which sucks ass. I'm getting my entire top replaced with a new top that comes with the glass window. I was quotd at $1,400 installed. Keep in mind that i stay in Orange County CA.
A little pricy, but you pay what you get for.
I did have a question regarding supercharging my ap1 S2k. Being in Cali smog is an issue. Advise or anything is greatly appreciated.

Oh, and as I have to do it solo, I solved it with a hard top winch...
