$800?! Crap. I would have done that in a heartbeat. I payed half that just for plastic and I already have a pinch in it from lowering on a cold day... even with the chop. New plastic must be less flexible than the OEM.

Come to think of it. I'm not sure why some places charge so much to install. It's no more labor intensive than doing a Miata top which also cost $400-$500 to install.
Oh right.... because they think you're a sucker just because you drive a Poorshe
