Looking for a hardtop
Due to some recent circumstances, i think I'm going to invest in a hardtop for the miata. Ik this is a hard thing to do and will cost me around $1000. Anyone got any tips on finding sellers, selling one, or know someone who is?

Re: Looking for a hardtop
Most likely not worth shipping unless it's a killer deal. I've never had one shipped, hasn't been worth the effort..... Just keep checking Roanoke through Richmond's craiglist, I see them pop up all the time.

Re: Looking for a hardtop
I have seen those, my goal is to find something around the 800-1000 range. most likely dip it black (will use plenty of coats so its not a pain to get off)

Re: Looking for a hardtop
I've got one on the car I'm selling. I'd let it go for $700. It's a faded red color, with headliner. Only problem is, I'm in baltimore!

Re: Looking for a hardtop
Haha that would be perfect, my car happens to be a faded red color. But that does present a problem, you wouldnt happen to be headed down this way at all in the future would you?

Re: Looking for a hardtop
I got mine a couple years ago off CL in Charlotte. Met the seller halfway, snicked it on the car, headed home.
You could also try Miata.net.
You will need some extra bits if the car didn't come that way. Frankenstein bolts and two more spring-loaded catches right behind the seats.

Re: Looking for a hardtop
I have the bolts on the back, would just need the catches for the latches behind the seats, where exactly do those go on?

Re: Looking for a hardtop
Not really needed in normal driving. I couldn't use the standard brackets due to my rollbar. For time trials I had a bracket that bolted into the factory holes. Only took one bolt on each side to remove.

Re: Looking for a hardtop
I have them in my SSM car and I dont have them in my NB. I have noticed that they keep vibration down from comparing my two cars, but they are not absolutely necessary. I plan on getting some for my NB sometime or another lol.
