What are your guys opinion on the hard tops manufactured for use on SRT's? I would like to hear some feedback from some of you that have purchased one. I found them on one website for about 3500 dollars. Is this the going rate?

Thanks...

Ours come painted and ready to install for $3995 so I think $3500 would be in the ballpark. I would look into cost of paint and shipping. Sometimes great pricing means a company might just charge extra on shipping.

C'mon Rick :rolleyes: .

As far as the hardtop goes. I recommend Jeff Lemke's hartop. I upgraded to the defroster glass. On a scale of 1-10, the paint was 8. The fitment is fine, unless you plan on doing 200+mph pulls. In that case, it moves around enough to scuff the rear part (covered by the decklid) and where the doors close against it. I have also noticed it rubs the top of my Autoform rollbar a little. I plan on wrapping the top of my rollbar in leather, to match the other custom leather treatment added to my SRT. The top is light enough to remove/install by myself...30 lbs. or so. Lastly, it gives my car a completely different look than the soft top....much improving the SRT vert. :thumbs2:

I would vote for Lemke's too. Always been a fan of the Street Serpent.

JLemke makes the only top that doesn't ruin and/or improves the look of the car.

The autoform top is ghastly.

As for RSI, I am curious to see what you have to offer. Any pics?

We carry the Autoform top :D There definitely are style differences between the Autoform top and Kelly's top. Either way its an upgrade to the soft top but beyond that its all about personal preference.
