Thank you sir...found a smoking deal on one for the lady just needs a new top, a full top kit is only like 250 so I wanted to make sure I could do it in an amount of time that wouldnt cut into my drinking schedule.

I put mine on a few months ago. I messed up in a few places but if you take your time, you should be ok.
