Oh ****, I'm laughing so hard I can barely breathe right now. Props to BenR and patsmx5 for the excellent links.
Ok, seriously though. Nissan guy, here is everything you need to know about hardtops: They aren't being made (by Mazda) any longer.
Rosenthal Mazda appears to have a supply of what are probably the last ones in existence for sale at $1,795, unpainted, and they're the NB version so the hardware will have to be changed.
There have also been some attempts at making aftermarket versions over the years. Quality has varied, and they're all pretty scarce. I think maybe there's one company doing a carbon-fiber version still.
There is a thriving secondary market for OEM hard tops- you'll almost never see one in a junkyard. eBay, the classifieds here and at M.net and CR.net, and Miata clubs are your best resources here. Depending upon condition, they typically seem to go for $800-$1,200.

Bashing the truly useless newbs shouldn't make it hard on you Erotomania. It's just a lesson learned at someone else's expense! Just ask yourself before you post a question, did you put any effort into finding an answer yourself? If not, stop and search. It'll save you from the bashing 350 deserved.
