I damaged my targa top over the weekend and I need to replace it.
What is the most cost-effective source for getting a replacement, both new or used?

Replacing targa tops
- Thread starter 8000RPM
- Start date
New: Niello Acura, with a discount for members of NSXCA
Used: ERZ Motors
Most new body panels come unpainted, so you'll probably need to have a body shop paint/repaint it. Don't worry too much about finding a used one your color, since it might not match your car perfectly anyway.
Also try www.hondacuraworld.com and ask for Tim. He's always been really helpful and give good discounts. They are in NY so us So Cal NSXers don't get hit with Sales Tax.

How badly damaged? I thought I needed to replace mine, but I ended up only needing to change the aluminum bit on top.

Let me put it this way.. I no longer have it.
So for now I am roof-less
8000RPM, I have to ask......did you pull a Fast and Furious move and eject the top at highway speeds?
My brother owns a supra and forgot to latch his top. He set it on the car while he went inside the gym to work out. Upon returning to his car, he forgot to remove it / latch it. He said there was really no warning the targa top fluttered for one second and just shot up into the air, flipping end over end. Believe it or not it cleared the stock spoiler on the supra.
Good luck, Paul

Just got a quote from Niello Acura: $1,344 w/out the NSXCA discount. Lead time is two days.
Wow. If you don't mind me asking... how did it happen? Were the warning lights on?
I ejected the top to distract the cops chasing me...
j/k

Correction: apparently the above price is only for one of the roof panels. The overall cost with all the peripheral parts added comes out to around $4k...unpainted.
The price for a used one is around $1k.
you havent tell us how you lost ur top!
I'm so curious now...
