    What's a good price on ic hardtop?

    Weigh in guys- An ic hardtop for my (new to me) 318ic.....

    Let's see who gets the closest to what I paid....

    I will be painting it body color as well, so let me know if you have and what it cost to do.

    thanks, Dan

    I paid $800 (a pretty good bargain). I also put in a $500 black cloth headliner :twisted: .

          Who, where and why so cheap? But great for you I'd pay $800 and be happy for a good straight unit.

                  O my these things have hard tops....I just acquired an 88 325ic a couple of weeks ago. The top is in ok shape, but I am not a fan of the plastic in the back. Tell me about these hardtops. Do they retract or is it like a Jeep Hard top where you have to take the whole damn thing off? Is it easy to do? Do tell me about this guys I am now HIGHLY interested. Thanks. 8)

                    you pull the entire things off, there are 2 posts it slides into in the back and at the front it uses the same mount that hold the soft-top,

                      And the back is actually made of glass and not plastic, right? Is the upgrade worth doing? Aaron's top looks awesome I love that. I have a tan top wouldn't mind black or tan though.

                        The window is glass with a integrated window defroster that runs through it. It works with the same button as the blower.

                          I always wondered how that wired up, is there plug?

                            The metal posts that slide in the back make the contact to complete the circut. No plugs.
