Thats a lot for a top install. I just had a new top with the heated back window installed on my `00GT for $700.00 +tax by Rydon in NE Philly. They did a great job, & they did it while I waited. For the savings you would get, it might be worth your while to drive to Phila. The job took about 5 hours. I had the tan top, which I did not like. I had it changed to the black one. Heres a pic.

Top looks nice, I found a shop about 45 mins north of me that will do it for between $400 -$500 if I provide the top.

I understand that the top alone is about $150.00, Then the heated back glass is another $200.00. The rest is labor

That place in Trevose is probably where my installer got my top. They had to go get the top while I waited, & they were gone & back in 1/2hour with it.

My top arrived today, they sent me the wrong window with the defroster
The guy I spoke with told me they install for $350.

Check out ragtops and roadsters in perkasie, PA(18944). i have heard awesome feedback from others who have gone there, but i'm not sure what their pricing is like.
