I've got a Sebring hardtop on my Suzuka and love the way it makes the car look and feel (cooler when it's hot & warmer when it's cool). It also quiets the wind noise and makes driving a pleasure. Mine rattled until I gave it a good dose of the shin-itsu grease. I think you will like yours too.

I absolutely agree with everything except the rattles part. Mine creaked a little when I first put it on but nothing that a little shinitzu (or whatever the hell it's called) grease didn't cure. I absolutely love the hardtop and don't plan on taking it off much if at all. I also like the look way better with the windshield tape removed.
Yeah, the Shih-tsu grease definitely quiets the top. Make sure you also get the rubber section below the rear window. You can get two or three tubes of grease per shih-tsu.

Car looks great. I'm sure you'll be happy with the hardtop.

Any pics of the front lip? I'm debating whether to get one or not.

There is nothing better than top down cruising on Pacific Coast Highway under the late evening summer sun and lite breze from the ocean

But the starter is in Indianapolis. It can be cold in long long long winter over there, that why he bought hardtop.
