Default New owner - New car - New top

So - I'm not going to complain. It's perfectly ok and I'm 100% happy.

But the first time I put my top down...the seam ripped about 12 inches. Probably due to buying a '12 that had sat for a long time. Also - it only had 9 miles on - so I know it had not been used.

Thankfully the dealer not only picked up/dropped off the car and gave me loaner for a week - but also replaced the entire top. I'm guess to the tune of around 10k. They ordered the new top, then sent it out to a local specialty shop for the install. Adjsuted the windows to avoid it happening again.

Just got it back yesterday and it looks perfect. Can't drop it for 10 days tho.

Attached are pics.

And yes - I've already started modding.

15mm spacers all around
LEDs in every light
stubby antenna
Illumnated kick plates (one of the few options Mine did not have)
Light tint going on windows and tails


And here is my list of recent cars -- came from a 12' EX - fully custom.

2003 Jeep Liberty Startech - black
