Could you take a picture on the defrost switch in the interior?

I had a T-Bird once with a removable hard top. When I removed the top there were bad scratches that the top had made at the contact point with the body of the car. How about the top for the S2000? I assume the top sits on the body just behind the soft top well. Do you notice any signs of scratching or has Honda positioned the top in such a way as that will not happen.

Regardless of my concerns - REALLY SHARP VEHICLE!

The hardtop does not touch the paint. It sets on the black rubber trim at the bottom of the soft top. The rubber ends up with a slight impression that disappears overnight.

Looks like I got to start filling my piggy bank again. I was thinking that Honda would be smart enough to design the top that way. Thanks for the information!

I just got back from vacation in Hawaii, where I had a Miata form Hertz. J eez, the differences - I was sad to leave Hawaii but glad to get back into my own S2k!

Awesome pics, and thanks! Even here in Texas a hardtop would be great. Sometimes you just need to keep out of the sun.

I'd also like to see some more detailed pics of the rear latches...I'm probably going to do my own install and I've already seen the instructions.

Ask, and you shall receive!!! This is the best picture I could get from the driver's side.

I was trying to find out if you still had use of the soft top when you pull the hard top off. You did say that the soft top was not removed corect?
