I got lucky and bought one for $250 and I don't think it was ever on a car . . . unfortunately they are not cheap to get painted . . . don't get fooled into a $200 paint job a good one is a lot more if you want it done properly. So you are going to spend $500 if it is already the correct color and maybe twice that if you have to get it painted. Mine cost me $750 including a terrific paint job. Many here try to pass it off as a nickle and dime project but you get what you pay for . . . They go for $1,200 if you buy new

When I bought the car, it came with both the clear and solid top. The solid one is under our bed and I don't know if I'll ever use it (Spiral gray). Is there a specific reason why one would want the solid top versus the clear?
