LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community - View Single Post - Have an Elise with a hardtop? Does it fit properly?

So after several attempts to get my local dealer (Lotus of Scottsdale) to give me a solution for the ill-fitting hardtop I've decided to give up. I can't even get a price quote for the hardtop bracket from them when I supplied a part # so...

So I'm going to do what I've done for several other... ah... shortcomings our beloved cars have. I'm going to make my own with the help of Saikou Michi Co!

Since the cost of the OEM bracket is pretty outrageous ($185 wholesale + $200 labor?

) I'm thinking about selling these to fellow community members.

It will be made with the same care and attention to detail as the catch cans we recently released.

Please post here and vote on the poll if you'd be interested in such a product.

Thanks!
