I'm getting my hardtop tomorrow!!!! Yea!!

So when do you guys usually put on your hardtop? When it starts snowing? When its too cold to put the top down? I would have already put it on by now but I since I just bought it obviously couldnt have been installed till now. But I am happy I didn't get it earlier because I would have missed the past couple of days now that were so nice (mid 60s). So how long do you guys wait before you say the final goodbye to the convertible option?

Oh and if some funny guy comes on here and says he lives in Southern Cali and he never has to even think about not going convertible, he's gonna have to get smacked!

I mark thanksgiving day as the offical hardtop conversion. However I did do mine just a few days ago. I love the feel of a second S2000 that the hard top gives me.

End of daylight savings time ...

Change your clock ... change your smoke detector battery ... change your top.

For me it's First snow/freezing weather

We got our first snow last friday, so over the weekend
the hardtop and the winter tires went on.

Of course it's been 61 degrees yesterday & today,
but I suspect that won't last too long.

I've had my hartop on for about a month. It's great for winter, though it hasn't been that cold here (Cincinnati), though it's certainly gray and yucky outside.

I think that the hardtop is a great investment if you live in an area with inclement weather -- and "inclement" could mean excessively hot. I don't much like driving around with the soft top up, though I do in the summer if I get caught in the rain. Otherwise, I'm either a top down or hard top on driver.

Mine goes on and stays forever. Don't really care for the convertible.
