Default Replacement top

I am going to need a top soon.

Can anyone recomend a good place in the St Pete area? What are peoples feelings on OEM versus the canvas (?) alternative.

Comments and feedback appreciated as always.

I have heard the Robbins tops are damn nice and good fit ...like OEM.

although......That shop up around willie Gee or in Orlando is said to do really good work for cheap comparatively speaking....it might be worth the drive and scheduling to go see them. i would PM Willie Gee and get the 411 on all questions before making a decision. He seemed super pleased with it and at around 900.00 for top and install... its going to be hard to beat

Are you going to go with an OEM type top or an aftermarket customized look?

Probably OEM look. But I would like to explore some of the other materials that are available.

The top was put on 2001 and taken of due to the frame not allowing the top to go down properly . The frame is not the same from he 2000 - 2001 as it is for the 2002 - 2003
