Tim,
The sunshine state eh. No one need a hardtop for the s2k, they just want one. I didn't need my at all, but there was one on ebay with black color and the price was right so I bit the bullet and did it. Now I am all happy cuz winter is coming to Houston pretty soon and so is the rain. In another word, if you like to drive with the top down all the time then the hardtop is not for you, because it is a pain to remove and storing it must be done properly; otherwise, the top wil bent and you will have a harder time to put it back on the car! But nevertheless, it is real cool to see it on the car. It gives the car a totally different look and sleek. With it on then the giant spoiler would look so proper on the trunk, not so without it!
So, to sum it up. You have to want one, but until you have one then you are going to enjoy it more. It is different! Oh, my s2k is red.
There is a chance a hardtop is listed on ebay at any time. So check it often.
