I would choose the hardtop and maybe get an alarm for your car since you live in apts.
I alread have a Decent alarm. Clifford 10.5x 2 way remote blah blah. Even with this alarm, would the Hardtop make it more attractive to any theif?

Don't care much for the hardtop design...guess I'm in the minority here. If it were burning a hole in my pocket I'd get a pre-owned set of Tein RA/RS coilovers and Volk wheels.

Any upgrades will.... but I'd think the hardtop would get you less trouble (theft-wise) than aftermarket wheels. Wheels will get stolen in a hurry.

I'd spend it on some driver's education events at MSR and TWS learning to drive the car on a racetrack. Then spend any excess on parts you think need replacing (ie. - "Hmmm...suspension could be a bit stiffer. Better get a set of Moton dampers.").

That's money well spent.

You wouldn't happen to have any of those items laying around, would you?
