CrappyS13 is the guy and saw his vert on sale. Maybe already got sold. He's been ripping off several people on zilvia.net, so I wouldn't count on him.

What exactly do you need it for? Do you want it for looks or for wintertime?

IMHO...turning a ragtop into a hardtop is ghey...unless you only do it for the wintertime or when it rains and its your daily driver.

Hey, I haven't been on Zilvia in a while. Since crappy IS a member of nico - do you mind enlightening us on what he has been actually doing?

Looked like he's been selling bad stuff and taking money from people.

to tell you the truth, i'd think it would be a pretty cool idea. i just dont think that there'd be enough support to keep it in production, it would have to be custom. S2000 hardtops cost like $4000 from the dealer... thats more than my car's worth, lol

I would ONLY get me a custom made hardtop just for wintertime...if I still lived in teh north when it gets cold and snows. Then i'd take it off for spring/summer. But im in florida now...and while it does get kinda cold (can reach 20-30 degrees) during teh wintertime...its nothing serious. No need for a hardtop. You got a convertible...enjoy it. Besides...all teh extra money you spend trying to get a custom hardtop...you can be working on teh engine or other mods.

the hard thing about making the hardtop is that it needs to fit to the header bar and fit tightly around the windows otherwise there wouldn't be a point. with the 240 thats not so easy to do.

and then you have the fact that it would have to be painted, it would be expensive, most owners have no where to store it, and it would end up costing more than people would pay for it. There is a great amount of effort that goes into designing such a part and creating a mold for it. That amount of work is, in general, too much to do for one top.
