I have and have been quoted $6-800 by one and $1000-1200 from another (I laughed out loud and have known this guy for decades). I explained to him I bought the whole top hardware and all for $1200. With inflation, backlogs, back ordered parts and materials he is still reasonable in todays crazy market. At $365 I'll take 2! I already bout a $100 CJ7 best top bikini and its almost 12" too narrow. It "could" work as a sunshade?
