should be around 2k! But VERY worth it... I'm going to remove all soft top components once I have it. It should help with major weight reduction and perfect for the track. Doesn't the soft top with everything included motor, top and structure support about 250lbs? My Z isn't a daily driver, I keep it garaged most of the time. Never see's a drop of rain BUT I'll run it more with this top!

Nice! Send her on up! lol Well he did say they were made to order so I am not sure what the time frame will be. I will find out tomorrow when I pick up my car. Just glad I can help out.

No, I am not sure what that one was, I did not want to take a pic of the prototype because it is still being worked on.

He said with the top on the brake light will be on the inside. Also the rear window will be bigger than what you guys have on the convertible top.

I am not sure what time I am going out to pick up my car tomorrow but I will try to take more pics of the progress and maybe the prototype. I will also see if there is a time frame for you guys to start ordering.

Oh almost forgot, would you guys like it better if it had the "humps' like the corvette top or something as close to stock? Also what are your thoughts on the carbon fiber material? Any other questions I should ask him tomorrow?

Picked up my car today and wow what a great experience, Jack (owner) showed me around the entire shop, including his Austin Healey with a Corvette engine.. that thing is a beast! Saw the mold for the Z roadster and it looks like it is coming along great.. Guys this thing is going to be sick and I am very glad I can be a part of it. Have fun and enjoy your new tops guys!

Sorry no pics this time
