hey guys im new to the vert world, just picked up a 92 for 800 bucks and the top is pure crap. ive been doing my research on the top and found a few options and decided to go with a vinyl top. the local upoulstry shop said vinyl last longer as long as during hotter seasons i apply a fixitive agent..? but also i was trying to another option and found that the europian and japanese market verts have a completley different looking top,smaller rear window and a wasteband sorta thing?!? i was curious if anyone has made an attempt to find one and install it. :confused:

JDM vert is completely different and rare, like 400 made. That stops about anyone here from converting theirs.

Also, spend the extra coin and get a cloth top. I had a Haartz Stayfast installed 6 years ago. It wasn't the cheapest option but on my garage-kept 1992 vert it still looks brand new. You got a great deal on the vert now get a great top. Vinal looks like a cheap Mustang.

Congratulations and welcome by the way.

Get an OEM cloth top. I just got a brand new one installed. Wasnt cheap, cost me about a grand with installation but it was well worth it. Looks and works absolutely perfect now.

Yea definitely get the cloth top. The vinyl looks like crap after a while in the elements.
