They stopped making them so you can't buy them new. I have seen all of them selling used for $3,000-3,500 and selling within days. I have been offered $3500 for mine many times. If you happen to see one for sale I would buy it immediately if you are serious

go aftermarket (Robbins top or some other brand) and have LHT PERFORMANCE install it...they will also be able to help you decide on oem vs. aftermarket...the Honda tops are quite pricey and robbins seems to be a good cost-effective replacement. John and paul will set you straight in no time.

i talked to LHT once and they said they only install oem tops. i have called and e-mailed 6-7 times with no response after that. will they install a robbins or haartz aftermarket top for me? are they open on saturdays? i hope someone can help. thanks for the response. todd

OEM top install only is the same message I got when I asked LHT about a top install. At that time they quoted me $1400 out the door. I had a Robbins top installed by the dealer and am dis-satisfied with the fit and the durability of the top. The fit of course could be a bad install by the dealer but bottom line it cost me double what LHT quoted. Go with the OEM top at LHT is my advise!!!

Thanks for the advise, that seems to be the opinion of most people. i am going with oem parts. now i just need to find one from someone other than the dealer if i can.
