I ordered mine in yesterday.
You would then need someone to install it.
I will be using a local auto upholstery shop.
The guy said that if only the top needs to be changed he would charge me $350.. if weather guards and such need to be changed its obviously more.

It is a 2 man job.
The complete top assembly should be removed for easy dismantling and reassembly with the new top cover.

got my Robbins Brand top from topsonline.com installed on Saturday. The shop told me they had to make some modifications since the top was one of the first ones Robbins ever made for the Z but other than that it looks great!
The only thing is the window doesn't have the molding around it like the OEM one. and one of my weather guards is ****ed so now there's a small leak.
But the top is excellent. highly recommend it.
pics to follow.

And then the pain begins...
I just took my top out and replaced it with another one.. the whole thing. I was lucky to find someone parting out his roadster... it is in PERFECT shape.
Mine was all messed up from the previous owner of the car. If anybody needs a top assembly without the cover, he has one available... his sn is projectsupra.

the pics from the Robbins top from tops online. I had to go to the shop twice to get it fit right due to some error from Robbins but it fits perfectly now.
As you will see from picture #3, one of the most noticeable differences is that the rubber molding around the window is missing. OEM has it.

You doing this at home? How hard is it?
