    I felt the strong urge to buy a new hardtop...

    Saturday night I fired up the garage heater so the next day I could start the engine and comfortably inspect my hardtop. Sunday I started up the EcotecMiata engine and took it to the quarter car wash in 29 degree weather. (No snow or salt my way) I sprayed off all the surface dirt from the car while kind-of testing the hardtop seals.

    The hardtop is in very good condition with just a few chips and no leaks detected.
    However, I did notice my crystal white Miata body is full of chips, dents, and scratches making it a only a 20 footer. If I did get a new hardtop it would place high pressure on me to have the car stripped and repainted due to the potential crystal white paint defect. That would detract from getting the drive-train sorted out.

    So I convinced myself to work on the drive-train first so I can either be satisfied with the results or initiate another drive-train project. If I go with the latter I will need the funds.

    Nice addition! Looking forward to seeing it painted on the car. Congrats! Pretty cool that you can still pick up a brand new hardtop. Thanks Mazda!

    Awesome!!! It's a great feeling to have a 20+ year old part produced again, it was like a huge Christmas present to myself when I got mine, im sure you are super excited about this as well, I know I sure was, I had the dealership paint mine right there at their bodyshop because I couldn't wait any longer hahahaha

    Make sure to post up some photos once you get it painted so we can check it out! Are you near that Cox Mazda in Bradenton, or are you in Atlanta?

    Yes I am very excited! All the used ones that I looked at were over priced for over 20+ years, not is the best of shape, or gone before I even got to see it.

    No I live in Middleton tn. Nearest Mazda dealer is in Memphis, about 90 miles away and they did not seem to interested in ordering it for me at the internet pricing. So I went on line and used the part number and found Cox would order it for me.

    Mine was shipped UPS freight to my house. Will post pictures after it's painted. Thanks again!

    .........

    That is EXACTLY why I bought a new one, they either sell too fast, like in minutes, and the ones that don't are either a POS and beat to hell, cracked, rotted torn seals, scratched glass, etc, or just way out there on the price for the condition and age!

    Brand New was the way to go for me!

    Looks like they’re all completely sold out in the US... called several dealers and they all told me the same thing.

    Anyone have a new one they want to sell? Lol. I’d really love to get my hands on one

    Damn! Makes those $3000 used hard tops seem like a bargain! Mazda is ridiculous charging those prices. It’s not worth it.

    That's the NC top, FYI.

    Interestingly, it says the NA top is NLA.
