HardTop
#21
I tend to go about things rather methodically with a fair amount of care not to mess anything up when it comes to the S2000. Even if I wanted to run a hard top, I would never consider manually lifting one on and off of the car as an option. There is an older thread around here where hard top hoists were discussed. My recommendation in that thread was to find a way to adapt a Harken Hoist (as it turns out rpg51 did). Obviously there are plenty of other suitable ways to make one of your own.
LIft/Hoist for Hardtop 2017
The video shared at the beginning of that thread was priceless. I still laugh when viewing it today. If ever there were an argument for a hoist system, this is it.

To each his own...I love how it looks, really do, but can't justify the cost for an OEM. I asked my original owner about the hardtop and his words were quite clear: If you want a hard top, don't buy a roadster. For me, I am good without it, but I do love looking at those that do have it.

What is somewhat interesting to think about is if Honda had offered the S2000 as both a roadster as well as a fixed-roof coupe like they did previously with the S600 and the S800. If they had done so, would the fixed roof have followed the same lines as the OEM hard top, or would it be more of a sloped hatch design as with the previous S cars and so many GT cars in general?

Here's another shameless plug for this electric hoist I put together. I can have the hardtop on / off in less than 5 minutes. Understood it's not for everyone but time invested was well worth it:
