It definitely needs one, the rag top is just plain hideous, looks like an old horse buggy.

well thats what im saying... i dunno if i would go as far and say it looks like a horse buggy, but a hardtop would look sweet...

i was just wondering if there was any kind of kit out there to convert it into a hardtop conv?

I have never heard of one being made. I know mastergrade attempted it, but was going to cost too much to manufacture.

I think hes thinking about the tonneau cover? That roadster is sporting the seibon trunk and tonneau cover, but not a hardtop. Sickness either way

It would be very nice to have a hardtop ASAP. The s2000 has one...we should too!

but even if you put a hardtop on it it would look exactly the same as a roadster with the soft top up...
