That's really nice! It fits the look and lines very well. I also like it better than the stock hard tops.

You should do a "how too". Or possibly take a couple detail pictures of how you attached it to the windshield. I like it and want to do one myself!

If I wanted a top I'd have purchased a Mazda MX5.

How does it behave at speed? Does it catch the wind?
Looks good to me- I like the shape.
