shit... i just bought a cracked (not too bad) hard top for $450 2 days ago :/
i guess i will soon have one for sale :)

Can you ship? Dibs!

for sure. shipping through greyhound should be around $70 if not less

second dibs.

ill be selling it for about $600-650 though because i will fix it, paint it, and it has perfect condition window with defroster

ill be painting it black by the way

well, i was too late for that $500 top but i have another one coming up soon (brand new, carbon fiber) which i will be using myself. its coming in a month or two so ill keep you guys updated.

Hardtops are the best. Now that winter is here every NA I see has one. In the summer I never see NA's, now they are everywhere with hardtops.

thats why i just got one :)
my soft top is too cold to drive with in the morning and at night. hopefully hardtop will be better :)

:gay: It was -12 degrees this morning and I saw an NA with soft top parked on the street.

hehe... if i drive miata - i drive top down no matter how cold it is. with hard top i will break that habit

Got rid of my 65mph shimmy too!

it was -10 last 4 days in a row, it started snowing lightly, dusted the ground and stuff
, i drove top down,, hat on lol heat blasted, it was great!

I think it sold. The ad was removed.

man it sold in a DAY! was close to me too!

ha! its up for sale for $850 on craigslist :)
i offered guy trade for my hard top + some cash

So who makes CF hardtops? A local guy got his from Axis Power for $1,600.

there is some guy who wants to start producing cf tops here

That would be awesome. I am going to start working on some fiberglass work this summer with the hopes of eventually making some of my own body panels. Should be an adventure. It will take a while before I will get into cf though. I still can't figure out how they get the seamless transitions in cf while making it look like it is all one piece.

they lay it up just like fiber glass, but then the last sheet or two is laid over as a single large piece so you get a uniform pattern. then you just vacuum bag the shit and smooth out any wrinkles/bubbles.

It's surprisingly easy to work with CF, but thanks to the aircraft industry the price has gone through the fucking roof. It used to only be 2-3X more expensive than fiberglass.

CF is easy to work with. I just helped the CalPoly Formula SAE team finish our 08 tub, which is a dry carbon monocoque with a nomex core.

Too bad you are almost 8 hours away from me. I could use some expertise. I think I am just going to try out some shapes on the car with some and see how it turns out. I am really interested in making a fastback hardtop. Not sure which car I want to model it after though.
