Mario Korf Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I've got a Miata with a Treasure Coast half top, which is a partial mold of the standard hardtop. I've been thinking about extending this into a fastback, but I don't know how many points that would cost. I think a fair ruling would be to add up the square footage of the additional portion that extends past the partial top, and then multiply by the type of materials used. But before I get started, I'd like some kind of official word on the points. FWIW, I'm not kidding myself about the performance vs effort here, this is largely to look cool and different than other Miatas. http://treasurecoastmiata.com/i-23790162-new-special-chop-top-for-race-miatas.html Edited February 16, 2018 by Mario Korf Add link to existing half top 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is official here in the Forums... but that is exactly how I would account for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchkis23 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 When we asked about going this route we were told it was cost of materials once it deviated from what could be called a "stock" hardtop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espog Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I thought all tops were made free for "safety purposes". That is the only reason we have a top on ours. But i can see the how it does fall in a grey area. Are you going for something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Korf Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Yeah, something like that would suit us. Were points assessed for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
