Are you going to drive it in the winter or something? If so, are you going to raise it back up? If no, WTF do you need a hard top for? I’m confused. 🙂 ---

I’m 50/50 on if I like black or matched when money is not factored in, but it will be impossible to sell later if I paint it moreagrun so that is the deciding factor. It’s easy for two people, the size make it’s awkward, but weight is very light. Everything is a level so no tools are needed and it comes off in seconds. > [@newman](#): > > is it CF or glass?

(in that I can always sell it for what I got it for or perhaps more) Also something cool about it: On these cars when you just have soft top it blows hot air over the plastic to keep it clear in the winter. When you install the hard top not only does it have defroster lines, but it also has interior lights built into the hard top that activate when the doors open. ---

Mixed feelings. Either way it’s better than the soft top. Post up some other angles. ---

Makes total sense if you’re going to drive it in the winter. Do you raise up that suspension too or just drive it like it’s a snow plow? ---

snow plow! nothing like a $125 urethane bumper (shipped) from ddmtuning. I will take the 18 off once snow comes. ---

LOVE IT!! If there’s one thing about convertibles that always turn me off, it was the soft top. Hard top is the only way I would ever consider a convertible. :tup: ---

These cars look awesome with a hard top for some reason. Gotta get the matching paint for it though. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/it-was-all-soft-so-i-went-to-canada-and-came-back-hard/75964.md?page=2)
