I received my new and beautiful blue top within 8 days from the time i ordered (i live in the east coast and shipping from the UK was 2-3 days by DHL. It is a bit crazy at work and I decided to have the new top professionally installed and it looks great. I went with dark blue. Subtle difference between black and dark-blue, but dark blue looks elegant and complements the car's beautiful SSB color.
PS i dont know why but the installer said not to open the top for about a week until the fabric fully stretches in.
i suggest not storing the car with the top down for about a month, other than that use as normal.
