Hardtops oem at great prices
 
Just bought mine off on this s2ki web site, from private seller it was a couple of months old, looks new, i put a black on on my sebring silver car, got it for $2300 installed, Im very happy with the price and looks, but when i got home my wife found this new web site with oem tops for $2096.00 i hate to say i wished i would have seen this and got one to match the color of the car, heres a link to the tops for sale https://www.factoryhondaparts.com/partlocat...&subcat3=140591

I wouldn't regret your purchase that much. The fixed ground shipping cost is $230 which would put it just over what you spent on the used top. I also searched the site and was not able to find a sebring silver hardtop available. The closest was chicane silver which is VERY dark in comparison to sebring silver. On top of that, there is a chance you may have to deal with the headaches of a damaged hardtop upon arrival. In the end for $2300 installed, I wouldn't look back on your purchase.

I don't think it comes with the hardware and you need to add shipping.

Dont all oem tops come complete with the mounts, Mounted the top in about 40 minutes, driver side was sitting high, had to remove the 3 shims behind the latch on that side fits great.

What are you retarded? It's for other people that want a hardtop for a significantly cheap price.

yeah that is a great price, but most places don't discount them that much, add in shipping and perhaps some taxes (depending on the state) and you still got a good price.

I bought a used black OEM hardtop and put it on my sebring silver, I love the look. My intent was to have the roof painted sebring silver sometime down the road, but the black has really grown on me and I don't think I'll ever paint it. If you tint the hardtop glass and tint the passenger and driver side windows with a black tint it will look great with the black roof, creates a nice effect. My hardtop glass is tinted, I'm getting the door glass tinted to match this spring.

The body coloured matched hardtop looks best with the black moulding painted body colour as well and with the front roof windshield tape removed. When you try to remove the windshield tape it can sometimes reveal some defects under the tape and that can be a major pain in the ass. If you don't remove the windshield tape then I'd prefer a black roof to match all of the black trim. So I personally prefer to keep the hardtop black , leave the windshield tape in place, and just tint the glass black.
