I am also looking for a hardtop for my CR Cobra. I finished the kit over a year ago, and now after driving it for a bit, I think I would prefer a hardtop for roadtrips. I did buy the softtop/ragtop with the kit, and have all the parts, but I did not want to put it on right away as I did not like the idea of putting snaps everywhere. I did start to see how the ragtop would work, and it just seems like it would be alot of force on the pin holes by the door jams, which I worry would crack or break the fiberglass going down the road... anyone have any thoughts on that? I thought about bending the bars a little to reduce the stress. On a side note, I did see a beautiful kit at http://www.v8cobra.com/hardtop.html from across the pond, but doubt that it would work with a CR.
