the hardtop is availible. i plan on getting it for 03' winter. the top wieghs about 45 pounds. its going to run u about 3500 through honda. i sell for honda and can get u one for about 2500. thats already prepainted to match the stock color. to me it changes the look of the car completly. i like it a lot but by no means would i lose the convertable for the summer season.
