good luck on a cheap hardtop, prepare to spend ~$1000 for one.

I have seen some good hardtops on ebay for as cheap as $450. If you want cheaper shipping, sometimes the places cut the hartops in half for you and you can have it reassembled when it gets here. I love how the hartops look on those miatas, good luck with your search.

Cut the hardtop in half?! I wouldn't recommend that. If you ever want to resell it your target audience will drop to almost nothing.

One of the reasons hardtops still go for higher prices is because of SPEC Miata racing. A hardtop is required so they get bought up left and right.
