Good luck, it takes a lot more work than that to make a quality hardtop. I've tossed around the idea of making one as well, but it would be far more complicated than you described... It would be much easier to pull a mold off of an existing hardtop and modify the part you get from this. Difficult to get it symmetric if you are doing it by hand, however.

yeah, shortly after that post i put some thinking into it and came to the same conclusion. it would just take too much effort and it'd be like re-inventing the wheel. for the labor hours it would take, i could just work at minimum wage job, and then use the earnings to buy an oem top.

Could you specify which dealer in Las Vagas you purchased your Hardtop from for 2400 please? Thanks.

x2 I am looking for an oem hardtop as well but can't seem to find one for a reasonable price.

i got my OEM new on ebay for 2400 shipped with everything. If you spend money a replica one they fit pretty bad. usually dont have a window and overall no HT looks or fits better than an OEM one. THe other big bonus an OEM looks so clean on the inside and matches your interior....that made it an easy choice for me. You can bargain the people on ebay i got mine from a Honda dealer in Las Vegas

thats about what i paid for mine a year or two ago, Desert Honda in Las Vegas people, speak to ken.
