I have the top. If you can live without a cabrio, it is an incredible compliment to a great little car -- more people ask about this car than any of my other rides...and the craftsmanship is unbelievable -- btw, Graeme is a stand-up guy too...willing to go above and beyond.

Here's a great & helpful thread about Zeintops on boxa.net, to which I recently added my experiences of installing a Zeintop DIY kit. The experience was about 90% positive.

I do love the way the car looks with the top, although I'm still adjusting the fit to some extent.

Holy cow. Looking at the experiences of the 4 in that thread, you'd REALLY want this top badly to go thru all that. And some of it ongoing, with the squeaks.

I got my quote on a Zeintop. $2,337 delivered to a port within 3 hours of where I live. That includes the top DIY kit, the main latch, and shipping to the port. Not a bad deal if you ask me!

Kirk, that's for a DIY kit? It's about $350 less than I paid for my DIY kit + latch.

Budget for a company to get the item off the ship, and then delivered to you. Then for spraying it. My guess is you will wind up at $3500-4000 outlay.

As for the assembly and fitting work, I thought it was fun to do, but I know not everyone enjoys building things. The kit is well thought out, but I had a few criticisms.

I'm delighted every time I see my car, it looks so great. The largest functionless splurge I've ever taken, but I don't regret it.
