I love my hardtop!...it came w/ the car when I bought it (used). Tho I loved the S ever since it was released, I wouldn't have gotten one if I couldn't get the hardtop. For pics, check out my sig. I'm hoping to take it off soon with summer coming here in socal, but I need to make a stand for it first. I've been pondering removing the windshield tape, but I've heard it's a real PITA, and I'm not sure I want to deal with that.

No, he's referring to the tape that's covering your windshield frame (not the hardtop). All US models come with black tape over the windshield frame (so that it looks nice with the soft top I guess). Anyway, underneath that black tape, your frame is painted body color. Some people take the tape off when they put a hardtop on. Look through some of those pics posted again. You'll notice the edge around the windshield on some of them is black, while other have it body color.
anyone have pictures of the ht with the tape and one w/o? i can't tell the difference
It is the black that is on the frame of the windshield. It is not on black cars. Some people remove this tape as as under it the frame is painted the same color as the car.

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.
do you have any pics of the sebring top on your car - i'd love to see how that color contrast looks!

O, fu*%en shi$!
I have never seen that before, so it has nothing to do with the hardtop? All S2K are painted underneath that tape? My friends 02 black tape is all messed up from washing the car with a high pressure sprayer, so now all he has to do is peel it
