The pics above show that the bronze top color does not match the regular glass color, but the difference is hard to see. It has only been an eon since you could buy these tops new, and the frameless was never offered in gray. It might be another eon (if ever) before you can get a gray one. My $.02. I bought one and I already had one!

Damn, I ordered mine Tuesday morning at 9:20am EST time, haven't received any tracking or shipment notification. Can't believe someone got theirs in Washington already???? Wonder how they are prioritizing shipping?

Just had the shipping quote for the UK $195 ouch!! Is there anyone else out there that wants to share the cost of this I am based in Berkshire, South East. I'm also wondering whether we can ask to ship without tax, will we have to pay import and VAT anyway? Any advice? Regards Jon

They said they were prepackaged and that they wouldn't do that.
I am guessing if you beg them and they see that the cost is so high for shipping to the UK, they may reconsider ??
Just thought I would let ya know, I tried that route, but I am in the states, so maybe they were less sympathetic

I received confirmation that mine have arrived in Southern California about an hour ago... I did place my order at 8:00am ET Tuesday though.
As to shipping O/S, I'm using Shipito for shipping to Sydney and will it cost me around $240 for two or around $140 for one... given Australia is one of the most expensive places to ship to, they may be worth a try for those who have mentioned it.
Weight is 20 to 21 lbs (I have one at each weight... not sure why the variance) and box dimensions in inches are 43 x 29 x 4.
Sincerest thanks to all those involved in seeing this come together!

Just and FYI.... I had asked them if they could ship 2 sunroofs together to CA
They said they were prepackaged and that they wouldn't do that.

If it costs 200+ to ship, it is far better than getting an old top for 800-1500 plus that shipping. Go for it and enjoy the tops. I can't wait for mine to get to me. I was told that they had lots of orders and shipping is a bit delayed. Also, the boxing has been done, one for each box. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I will. As far as the tint, I could care less what tint it is, all I want is a Saratoga top. wwwwhhhooooo.

Can't wait to get mine, they still haven't billed my card hopefully tomorrow. I don't care about the tint either it will look nice and it kept the cost down because of the color also it is period correct with the other tops since the original frame-less ones came in bronze only.

I've decided against the bronze but if any of you Euros want to ship yours to me for the rennlist price to hold for when you can ship I'd be happy to hold them. I live in Jax, Fl on US east coast. There are still some good ppl in the world lol. PM me if you like.
