Default Soft top replacement

Who do you guys like for installing a new softtop? My '02 is due for a new one. The dealership replaced my top once under warranty, and that would have been $1800 back in 2004/2005. I'm thinking of having it done elsewhere to save a few bucks, but still want a quality install.

I'm in Broward, and would prefer something close.

I'm heading to DG8 performance in N Palm Beach sometime in the next day or 2 to get my top replaced. Stayfast top with glass roughly $850 installed (may wind up closer to $900). I will let you know how it goes as well as final tally.

I'm an oem fan I bought mine from honda for a little over 900 with the new rivets for the water drain and the straps. I installed it myself and am happier than a pig in shit. I could do it for you but it is a bit time consuming so a shop might charge roughly the same I would (not honda, they charge about $900).

Just picked up a top as well (Multiple wear holes) since I left my car to get fully painted. How much did andres quote you? I saw a DIY here but it does seem to take 8-10 hours to complete.

D_Spec and i have been installing tops for individuals from ATL to MIA for years. If you guys have a few individuals who are looking to do tops i would not mind making a trip to MIA for the weekend to do them. The tops can be ordered online at topsonline.com. I suggest ordering the robbins brand top the cheaper of the two is just fine should be around $500 shipped. As far as install we will cut you a deal on multiple cars. And as D stated it will take only 2-3 hrs for each install. Shoot myself or D a PM if you guys are interested or need more info.. search the forums for multiple references.
