Finished Smoothline Hardtop with PICS!
Here she is all finished finally.
I think overall it looks good. I like it.
Once I got it from FedEx there were a few minor stress cracks near the back window but nothing major.
I don't think it will leak but we will see tomorrow when I give her a quick bath. Seems to be sealed tight. Only spot there is a little light showing through is around the door. You can see in the pic but with the door shut to closed most of that. Maybe I will get just a little strip to fill the hole. This did give me a little wind noise on the freeway when I got up to 70mph. That should go away with a small section of weather stripping I will add when I get a chance.
Here are the pics:

Where's the slight issue with sealing?
Would you consider it more quiet than with just the soft top?
Total cost after purchase and paint?
I hate that that looks so good because now I really want it! Thanks for the pics and the updates! It looks really good!

I think it will be more quite when I get that small hole sealed. It is up by the seatbelt. Where the back of the door closes. It was quite until I got on the highway at 70mph. Then I could hear the wind from the hole.
I am right at 2500 - 2600 in the top.

Wow, that actually looks pretty good. I'm not sure about how it "attaches" to the front without any sort of fastening device, though. Also, if there's no weather strip between the rear window and the hardtop, wouldn't all kind of gunk get stuck in between them over time?
