I was going to say at least they only keyed the door, but then I saw the pics of the top and glass.

That's rough.

Sorry, I don't know of any place to recommend.

if it's not too far, Laurel Autobody up here in Maryland did good work for me. A friend is having his prelude done there too. They do mostly Honda/Acura and Nissans.

Sorry to hear about the s2k though..

WagonWorks in nova does excellent work. I'd definitely opt to upgrade to the 02 Spec glass rear window while you're at it.

I wouldn't get the glass backlight.

Plastic is lighter.

I wouldn't get the 2002 top with the glass rear window.

It requires changing too many besides just the top itself.

I suggest Wagon Works also.

I wonder how difficult it would be to yank out the motor for the power hood and throw in a lightweight, uninsulated, manual hood. I'm talking about a bare framework with a scrap of canvas and a plastic backlight...

I'd rather remove the entire power top mechanism and just leave a hardtop in place all the time.

That's what I am talkin about! But figured if he drove like a grandma the back glass with defroster would be nicer.

That would be better of course, but it would be nice to have a modicum of protection from the elements in a pinch, should the unexpected arise.

Getting stuck in the rain with no way to protect yourself from the elements is half the fun of a "true sportscar" isn't it?
