Completely agree. He did the top on my 02. It looks great and fits tight, like drum!

1. Hi Clovis; I have enjoyed reading this thread.
2. I have an 04 with 50k miles and I bought it 4 yrs. ago with only 9k miles; top is in good shape and I keep 303 on it.
3. I use a hardtop in the winter, and it's garage kept at night, so I'm hoping I never need one, but I know my time will come.
4. 2 questions. I have interested in the dark blue that Robbins has, I've seen it and I think it would look dynamite on my Suzuka blue, if you have seen this and it doesn't work, tell me.
5. In your opinion, all factors being equal , will the canvas or the vinyl last longer?
6. It might not be a fair question since there are some vinyl tops out there still on early models probably, and the replacements haven't had a chance to be older b/c of that.
7. So, just an opinion on durability.
8. Thanks!
9. And, do you know anyone near Indianapolis who is your counterpart; the closest trusted experienced person I know of is in Nashville, TN, over 300 miles away.

I would go with the Canvas option (98% of my customers do). It looks better and I believe that with regular upkeep it will last longer than vinyl which gets brittle and tears with age.
Sorry that I don't know of anyone in TN for installs.

You might ask in the Upper Mid-West S2000 Owners Subforum for recommended local-to-you installers.
