I have a painted top if you are interested. It needs a headliner and one rear mount bracket.

Great suggestion. When I bought my car it was missing the painted roof I found one in my color from a friendly forum member in PA. He was happy to hold it fo me until I as in PA and picked it up.

Word of caution whatever you decide and where ever you decide to buy your replacement may sure it is insured for full value as I have read many horror stories of tops smashed, dropped, cracked and otherwise destroyed by UPS/FEDEX etc many times on this forum.
