I've performed over 25+ S2000 tops this year so far. I work for Honda and still am, going on 8yrs strong. I'm ASE certified and Honda Certified. So if you guys were to fly me out you will have no regrets, Ease of mind that your baby will be taken care of, and be covered under warranty if any defects occur.
Ho, you're correct with the info that you just posted. I personally will be going with a Stayfast top when my top gives out but as I spoke over the phone with you that'll be a while from now being that I care for my top on a monthly basics.
Everyone, all my work can be followed on Facebook just by Clicking Here @ SoftTopGuy...
Here is a link to another group of guys that are flying me out to NYC to perform top installs. Just Click here NYC Group Top Installs.
If you guys have any questions please feel free to PM me. I'll do my best to reply back as soon as I can.
Thanks,

I've switched my 00 top to an 05 top and it's not that bad to do it yourself. I don't know about the robbins top but I would imagine its the same install.
How many hours did it take you??

I will diy if it ever comes to that point. Im cheap and dont trust anyone else to work on my car. Maybe try to find a used good condition top and save a few $$$. The one aftermarket top I saw, you could tell it wasnt OEM...that would kinda bug me.

Question: what's the advantage of canvas top over the vinyl top? Don't feel like reading through 5,000 pages to find the answer lol
The Vinyl is a rubber so I think it's more prone to creasing and ripping from extended use etc.
The canvas is supposed to have a deeper black colour to it. It's also more prone to ripping from rubbing and wear than the vinyl because it's a fiber based top. From what I see the canvas cost a bit more.
I think both are supposed to be great options.
This guy will do the 00 and 01 upgrade and conversion to glass too if required!
There has to be someone that'd done the canvas upgrade that can chime in?

I think over time the canvas will wear better especially because it's not as affected by cold weather like vinyl would. It might be a moot point, mainly cause we drive our cars in the summer. But if you're like me and like to drop top all the time even when it's a bit colder then Canvas might give you a slight advantage.

Let me know guys, there's a couple people that have msged me from Montreal so I don't know if that's a better location. I am willing to make the drive.
Might have to bite the bullet and drive down to NC and do some golfing along the way. Great thing about our cars is that you can get two sets of golf clubs in the car!! (just won't have any room for clothing! lol)
