Default question for 'vert owners

Has anyone purchased a new top from topsonline.com? I'm planning to get a new one before spring and thier prices look pretty good.

Any good or bad experiences?



(Can't spring get here any faster?!!!)

I got mine from Topsonline on E-Bay and had it professionaly installed. I think it looks great and fits excellent.

Good luck.

I was done as part of an overall fix up of the interior and the top replacement. If I had to guess at how much just installing the top would have been, I'd say about $250 - $350.

The guy charged me $1000 including materials (except for the top) to put in new custom embroidered seat covers, paint the seat buckets, fix the placement of the carpet, install the top, and adjust all the door panels. It was pretty cheap.

Good luck.

I really love the seats. Where did you get them?

The guy custom made the seats based on what I told him I wanted. He got the logo art from the Lloyds floor carpets I brought to him.

Not leather, high end vynil. Leather cracks way too easily in the South Florida sun. Besides you can hardly tell the difference. Most new cars with leather seats only have leather where the body touches. That means the sides and backs are all vynil.
