Default Carbon Fiber Hardtop question.

I am in the market for a hardtop and I am having a incredibly hard time finding one that is in decent shape for a reasonable price, I stumbled across a link for a carbon fiber hardtop. I am not sure how reliable the carbon fiber top is in my state (PA) since I get and I would be dailying the car with the top.


Hardtop This is the link for the carbon fiber hardtop

My questions

-Can the top be driven on a regular basis
-Withstand cold climate
-Will the fit be 100% as good as a OEM would be
-Weather stripping the same as OEM
-Will a Hardtop wing fit right up
-Which is better acrylic or glass rear window
-Anyone experience this top with any opinion
-I have more questions but please help

So you can't find a stripped OEM hardtop for less than $1100?

Read the info carefully. Their FIBERGLASS top with no window or seals is $600 plus $500 freight ($1100 total).

Carbon shell is $1200 plus $500 freight with no window or seals ($1700 total).

Windows, both sides and rear window rubber aren't likely cheap.
