I dont see it reducing weight. At all. You would STILL need the motor to pull it down, but youve now added the weight of the metal roof instead of the cloth.

um i was talking about a lightweight carbonfiber smap on cover like the s2000's have...thus LESS weight

Ah yes, my mistake. Was never aware the S2000 used a CF roof. Sorry

RE: hard top spyder

gotcha. well in that case yes... it will reduce quite a bit of weight, the thing that makes the Spyder's sooo heavy in the first place is the fact that it has that big motor that retracts the top down and up so by removing that and the heavy fabric and metal top you will cut quite a bit of weight. i don't think it would be toooo terribly hard for a company to make a mold of something like that but hey... i'm not CF Fabricator lol
