Default Soft top theft deterrent system?

Anyone have or try these? Seems like it could be a popular product for s2ki'ers.

It appears that this system would do nothing to protect your top but would maybe protect the contents of your car. Could be worthwhile for seats and accessories or other valuables you may have, but the main concern is the top itself for most S2000 owners.
Probably best to save the money you would spend on something like this and go all in on a hardtop.

This looks like a fantastic idea. I would pay about 1700.00 for this.

As JackS said, it probably wouldn't save your top but it would save the contents of the car. Personally, I'd just go with a properly installed and setup radar sensor.

It is a great idea, though. Props to Mr. Ramirez for coming up with it.

What's the difference between that and have an internal proxy sensor? The top will still be slashed either way.

GO look up what a seat will cost from Honda. Your insurance can total your car from the top and seats being stolen. Anyone want that? Yeah the top wont be saved by you also wont have a salvage title

This might be the best feature. As long as it goes between the frame and top.
