I presume you know of Forums - PFA where you might find other sources or recommendations.

To understand the complexity of a top replacement or repair, you might want to sample these articles written by someone who has done or helped on dozens of repairs, swaps and replacements.

If I were doing a cost no object, the '03-04 swap would be the one.

It is by far the easiest and best option. Not really sure it's the most expensive, as I found my '04 top for $800 from a guy converting his car to a spec racer and then sold my '01 top (in great condition) for $400.

Just have to be patient and search for deals. I did this right when the craze to make the swap was getting started, so that may have a lot to do with the deal I got. Folks didn't know the market at the time.
