Default convertible top

i am thinking about replacing the convertible top. it's starting to get tears n stuff.
i called honda and they said roughly 3grand for top + install. is there a cheaper way that will still get me same quality?

Get a Robbins top off of ebay.They are known to be very good quality.Make sure its a Robbins top though! Oh and since you have a 2000 model you can actually upgrade to glass rear window.Im about to get 1 of those tops myself.They range from $500-$900.Im sure someone on here can help you put it on.You will not spend nearly as much as the stealership.

You need to find the community organizer in the North Texas section. His sn or handle is Clovis. I believe its like 900 to 1000 installed but you have to drive up to Austin or Dallas. The top is a robbins top which is the same material the oem is made of. I'm getting mine replaced through them as well. Here is the link below.

I forgot, but somebody in San Antonio has a Robbins top. I can't remember though if he said yay or nay about the top.

ok, that didn't help at all

Still gotta pay for shipping and then install if you don't have the tools/know how.

That is actually a good time table for me too. We'll roll together to Austin if he's willing to throw a deal up.
