My 99 eclipse spyder gs
i wanted to get a black top on there
went to a professional and he said about 1000 for a good convertible top
i just wanted a few opinions on what are the best replacement brands
to find the best deal possible, if i could have several opinions, i would really appreciate it!
i think that guy is trying to drain my pocket lol
thanks!

top replacements arnt cheap what I would do is call the mitsu dealer ask how much just the top costs W\O labor and see what the difference is and maybe even ask what it would cost for the dealer to do it but they will rape you with $$$

i was looking at this website for convertible tops
haartz pinpoint tops
haartz stayfast tops

these prices seem reasonable, but i was just wondering if it would be worth it- or just go with the OEM top.
trying to save a few bucks if able to

another thing i was thinking about was junk yards. go or no?
i have a green mit eclipse 99 with a tan top and yes someone put a knife through the back right but i had it professional patched up. but i wanted a black convertible top anyhow.
