Well I just finished the install. Everything went pretty smooth and I did it without a helper. You don't really need one but you could do multiple things at once and get it done quicker if you had someone else helping you. The biggest PITA on this install was getting the hook screws loose. Maybe it is just me but those things were in there damn tight. That and putting the driver side panels back on, the thick wire makes fitment kind of a b3tch. Other than that, smooth as glass and this is a really easy install...everything is straigh bolt on. This is definately a DIY job...and the honda dealer wanted to charge me $800-$1000 to do this because, "you have to get in there and weld some things on..." Yeah ok, that continued to prove my theory that honda techs have zero knowledge about this car.

My top is gonna be ready on Monday or Tuesday and I will take pics once it is on. Can't wait. Got it painted Berlina for my Silverstone. With tinted windows I think its gonna look sick.

 

Waiting for pics!!!!

 

Good write up...

 

Awesome. My hard top just came in today and there is no instuctions anywhere. I will be putting it on this weekend. Thanks for the tips.

 

Cool. Post PICS!!!!

 

So how is the road noise w/ oem ht? Much better I hope. Sweet write up.

 

Well, the wind/outside noise is grwatly reduced, to what extent I really can't tell though since the Invidia pretty much drowns out a lot too.

 

I used the guide to install my top. Took less than an hour. Thanks.

 

Looks great!!!!

 

road noise is definitely less on the highway. Some air still leaks through the windows, but not much at all.
