You (or anyone else interested) might try asking Chaser if they have some leftovers from the group buy. Maybe some people backed out when it was time to show the money. It just might work...

Tried to pm them...not sure it went through though as I don't see the message in my sent folder. I'm thinking I don't have pm abilities over there since my post count is non existant even though I have been a member for a long time....Could someone hook a brutha up and see if they had any deadbeat buyers, leaving room for others to jump in?

I'm in!! Plenty of fiberglass ones...I put a deposit down on a cf...not may left of those I dont think from the sounds of it....ZX, have any pics of the top? What about you Urbanshoot? I just wanted to see what the fiberglass one looked like to see if the cf is really worth the extra loot!

Installing a lexan window is pretty easy. I picked up a HT shell for a song from a club member who went the CF route. It still had the front top latches but I had to buy everything else. The piece of lexan was $60 with all the other parts (seals and channels etc) running about $300 and thats with the Mazdaspeed racer discount. I will finish painting it this weekend so add about $20 more for finishing the project. It did end up costing me more that I originally thought but hardtops here run $1000 minimum.

I got the hard top in this week. I have not completely unpacked it yet but it looks nice based on a preliminary peek. I'll get it out and installed this weekend hopefully.
One thing for sure... Chaser Aero gets an A+ for packing. Holy crap... I think I have enough boxing supplies now for a year. The top was wrapped in a very thick, multi-layer arrangement of bubble wrap, placed inside of a huge box. I'll bet the packing weighs as much as the hard top. The box takes up the entire bed of my 1/2 ton regular bed Tundra (not the short one with the crew cab). Unless UPS did something really, really stupid, like drop it out of an airplane at cruising altitude, it should be fine.

Anyways, post up some pictures when you get a chance....Now I'll continue my wait....Waiting for the top is almost as bad as waiting for the Tuckin flares...
