https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_f...A/IMG_5430.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_f...8/IMG_5433.JPG I got this hardtop a couple years ago after answering an ad on m.net. The seller turned out to be an employee of chaser. He wanted to sell ($1250) it to fund a turbo project - I convinced him to trade it to me with a godfather offer - my oem hardtop, R package front and rear lower lips, oem ducktail spoiler, and a bunch of turbo parts. I've read accounts of Chaser hardtops being ill fitting (the example I saw was an S2000 top) but this one has no such problems, it fits as well as the several OEM tops I have had. I don't know if being a chaser employee, he cherry picked a good one or what, but it fits brilliantly. Has full rubber seals, front and side latches. The top has two imperfections, one of which is completely reversible - first is a few small scratches between the passenger window and the rear window, as shown in the picture. I had to take pictures up close to get them to show up. The second issue is that on the lower left corner of the lexan rear window, there is a cloudy section about the size of a CD. The seller had a bunch of stickers on the window, and not being a stickerbomb kind of guy, I removed them all. There was some residue from a sticker that wasn't coming off, so I tried goof off. Mistake. The goof off reacted with the lexan and hazed it up. I bought a ginormous sheet of lexan from lowes for $50 to make a new window, that will come with the top. Making a new window will be easy - remove the existing one, lay it on the new lexan sheet, trace it, cut it out, install, done. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_f...o/IMG_5431.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_f...k/IMG_5436.JPG I've really loved this top. The reason I'm looking to change is that I've been spending the winter rebuilding my NA with more of a retro theme, which carbon fiber doesn't really jibe with. I've already sold a couple parts that don't fit the style. I know this is mturbo and style is for lamers but what do you want, I'm a miatafag who doesn't track. With that in mind, I'm looking to trade for an OEM hardtop - I'm not asking for cash or other booty on top, the only concession being that the swap is done at my house, due to the fact that I have an infant that pwns my time. Failing a trade, I'd sell outright for $975, as that is the going rate for a middle of the road OEM top in these parts. As you can see I'm not trying to gouge. If you happen to have a white hardtop in good shape, meaning I wouldn't have to repaint it, then I'll toss in these matching (real) carbon fiber mirrors, which are another part I really liked that doesn't work with my redesign. Attachment 241323 Just to avoid the inevitable pm's, no, I cannot, will not ship this to you, no way no how. It's quite large, I don't have the material to pack it or secure it, shipping would cost hundreds, and I just can't deal with all that. This would be a local deal only, washington DC area. I am in sterling, va specifically, irght next to dulles mall, convenient to rt7, rt28, toll road among others. |
Interested in mirrors, price?
|
Mirrors will go up for sale if I don't trade for a white top. But not before. Probably $80 if so.
|
Are those the APR mirrors or some other brand?
|
lol thread at CR devolved into "OOOH mirrors" as well.
To repeat, when/if the mirrors are for sale, they will get their own thread. They are simply here as a sweetener to help attract the color top I am looking for. but to answer the last question I'm hoping to see about the mirrors here, The mirrors are the same type that Moss used to sell, which were a type of sportbike mirror, with an adapter base - I think they were $150 @ moss? When I bought the mirrors they had an adapter plate for another car, an acura I think. I made a miata adapter out of aluminum plate. They are real CF. I have seen the same size/shape around in fake cf and ABS black, with no mounting plate. |
I smell a road trip coming up.
|
fitment is described in the posting. It's good.
Road trip from Toronto??? Seriously? |
You are too fast for my ninja edit. I'm keeping it in mind. I've done longer trips for car parts before.
|
I salute your moxy.
There is a guy on CR that is swearing up and down he will come sat the 12th to get it from NY. But who knows with guys from the internets. |
I'd love to pick this up but I need to finish my car first.
|
Trade pending on Saturday...
|
My wife's originally from Sterling.
That is all. |
dang, I just picked up a cherry OEM white hard top last saturday. But my car is red....Too bad on different sides of the country
|
I have a black hardtop that is actually a snug top and I live in MD if the guy falls threw on sat let me know I would be willing to throw in some cash to make a deal.
|
If you can wait until May I'll take it off your hands. If not, GLWS.
|
damn i wish you were closer
