Yeah that's right, the whole bloody question is in the topic.
I need a new covertible top, badly... as in, now as a matter of fact.

so I need to know those who have replaced your tops,
where did you get them? and what do you think of the ones you got?

I had ordered one from 5.0resto but canceled my order to confirm it's where i wanted it.
JR told me to go to http://www.soft-tops.com/ but they haven't emailed me back yet.

So I would love some vert top feedback.
Thanks peeps.

I do appreciate the input gents!
very much.

I got a ridiculous quote so that's why I'm somewhat skeptical of taking it to a shop...
they wanted $1400...
and for that, it's not worth it, almost worth installing it myself.

i'll let you know what happens.

1400 is rediculous... definitely DIY if you can't find MUCH less

Before buying my 'vert I called around to a lot of places to know what the going rate was for a top installed in case I found my dream car and it needed a top...

Long story short I was hearing $950-$1000 out the door with a glass window...

Keep making calls. I called mainly upholstry shops...

Ok, 1400 is ludacris. www.cal-mustang.com - Robbins authentic quality warrantied tops - I believe they're around 180 plus shipping. Now the window should run you 250 if you're buying it from the installer - I paid 500 after buying the top for the new window (w/defroster) and to get the top done - shouldn't pay any more than that. GL.
