Hardtop = $700
Side latches = $30
Paint= $200
Total = $930 For an O.E. top, and a primer paint and clear color matched paint job. Not exactly the cheapest top, but I have a cool story behind it. I got an awsome deal on the paint because I know the owner of the shop.
Now I just need to tint the windows, get an R lip and a set of wheels/tires and I'm all set with the exterior. I'm just happy to have it on and painted. I've only wanted this since I got the car 4 years ago.
(I suck at taking pictures, and the trees gave me some weird shadows.)

My car is my BFF. Stupid new MI plates. There is another standard set of letters that are my initials, I want one of those instead.

I kept trying to get the camera to stop picking up so much sun glare off of it, but everywhere I went it still did it. In person it's a really good match. I want to get some in action shots or something, but my pictures are always blah.
The boss frog was easy once I got past the "I'm drilling holes in my floor" thoughts.
