There are a few dealers in the area that have done a handful of top-swaps.

You may try pricing the guys at accurate automotive in LaVergne I know they have done a few and will probably be cheaper than a Honda dealer.

Cool Springs Upholstery charged me $500 in labor to change my top. That was the best deal I could find.

ImportSpot, yea i friend of mine recently bought a MY02 berlina from accurate, n he told me they may be able to. didnt want to go to dealerships because it may cost way too much. NVMY4N i was going to but over the holidays money was slow n i cant wait to save up, so i thought ide just order a glass softtop for now..

ill call up the places you guys told me about n ask for pricing, thanks alot!

yeah definitely go with a shop like accurate auto or an upholstery shop. Dealerships, body shops, etc. will contract upholstery shops to do it anyway. They don't generally have a guy that can do these things, so you end up paying more if you go through them.

^ i dont think i could stand driving all the way to clarksville with the top in its condition but how much did it cost you and who did it? a friend of mine asked accurate for me since he was up there n said like $500 to replace it...and as Wynns said the upholstery shop costd $500 also, did they do a good job?

Cool Springs Upholstery did a good job on my car. No complaints here.
