So how much did everyone pay for their new top?

[DaveB]

I just put a $400 deposit for a new top, headliner, and rear glass window with the defroster. Total is going to be $1125 installed. The guy is also going to fix my driver's side seat foam, everyone should know what Im talking about, from getting in and out of the car. He usually charges $150 for that but is going to do it for $75. So how did I do price wise? This guy does it out of his garage and I've been told he does great work, so we'll see.

Are you doing a tan top again??

I paid $950 installed, for a new cloth top and back window with defroster at a shop that was recommended by a good body shop by me.

Actually I decided to go with black.

I did it myself for about $400 for a top and defroster rear glass and new side cables. It only took me 2 days to install it.

DIY is not all that it's cracked up to be. It was damn hard work and about 10-12 hours worth but only cost me ~200. . the window has separated though and i have to reglue

Im another Forest Green w/Tan guy here. Id love to see pics of the new black top. I'll probably go with tan in a couple weeks when/if I replace mine, unless I see pics that change my mind.

I know this thread was dead, but Dave B, id like to know how the black top looks with the green.

Funny you should bring this back up, i just dropped the car off this morning . The guy said I should have it back either late Wed or early morning thursday. Unfortunately I wont be able to get some pics up till probably saturday, since Im up north at home, and my camera is down south by my school where Im staying for the summer. Ill try to get them sooner, but it will probably be saturday.

OMG! Over a grand for a convertible top. I bought my top with new cables and rear curtain w/ defrost for a little under $400 off Ebay. Buddy of mine helped me install it. Full day of work if you've never done it before but well worth the money saved. Only tool I didn't have that I needed was pnuematic stapler.
