am /really/ jealous of Miata drivers is when I see one with that nice
factory hardtop on. A good-looking hardtop like this would be the ideal
setup - put it on for cold/wet weather driving in the winter, take it
off and hang it from the garage ceiling for spring/summer/fall (in
California, at least) driving. No hassles with a soft top, and increased
storage space behind the seats. >>
Oh yeah that's right! Robb's got the high-windshield version of the super
smooth hard top (the car's looking damn nice BTW!). I don't know if it's the
EXACT same style as les' tho. Les has what I believe is the original factory
lightweight racing hard top, that I think was only available in japan. It's
made of only a few layers of fiberglass, and it will flex when you push on
it. It's super smooth tho, and has a really pronounced lip spoiler at the
end. It also sits on the metal rail instead of the body like most other
aftermarket US hard tops. Hmmm...someone needs to make molds off of les' top
for the low-windshields, and robb's for the high-windshields!
