Adding a Hardtop to Your MR2 Spyder: A Personal Experience

As an MR2 Spyder owner, I've always been fascinated by the idea of upgrading my car with a hardtop. After doing some research online, I stumbled upon AGI (Australian Glass Installations) and their affordable hardtop option for the MR2 Spyder. In this article, I'll share my personal experience of purchasing and installing a hardtop from AGI.

Ordering the Hardtop

I placed my order with AGI via their website, which was surprisingly easy to navigate. The website contains only two photos of the hardtop, but I liked the design and the price wasn't terrible, so I pulled the trigger. After paying via PayPal, I received an email from AGI stating that production had begun.

Tracking Progress

Over the next few weeks, I received periodic updates from AGI via Facebook Messenger. They added a tracking number to my order and kept me informed about the progress of my hardtop. It wasn't until Week 13 that I received a shipping update, which was nice but not necessary considering I had already been keeping track of the order's progress.

Cost and Shipping

The cost of the hardtop from AGI was around $1000, which is relatively affordable compared to other options on the market. However, once you factor in freight and reconditioning of the hardtop, the total cost can add up to almost $2k, similar to Japanparts' new hardtop option.

Installation

After receiving my hardtop, I began researching how to install it myself. Fortunately, there are many online resources available for MR2 Spyder owners who want to upgrade their car with a hardtop. The installation process was relatively straightforward, and I was able to complete it without any major issues.

In conclusion, adding a hardtop to your MR2 Spyder can be a great way to enhance the car's appearance and provide additional safety features while tracking. AGI offers an affordable option for hardtops, but be prepared to factor in additional costs for freight and reconditioning. With proper research and installation, you can enjoy the benefits of a hardtop without breaking the bank.
