Or the actually hardtop since your most likely close to completion.
818S frame #13 Jdm version 8 ej207
Just let me say....................it's worth the wait!
I'm anxious to see it as well. I'm not confident in the S's rollover protection and I'm entertaining the idea of a custom cage in conjunction with the hard top.
That would be cool to see!

Pretty please. I don't think i am on the naughty list, so a present would be great
have you seen the hard top fast 5 racer?
Yes I have seen the hardtop in person, on Monday
A full cage under it is possible I think. It's not finished, but the outside shape looks good and they are working on finalising the other stuff like how to open the hatch above the engine, interior hoodlining etc
No photos as FFR didn't want any taken.

I can't wait! Although I wonder about the increased weight/cost.
Climbing in Dukes of Hazzard style?

Hey guys the top will not fit a R version just the street due to the roll bars size..Thanks!!!

I'm waiting for it to become available. I don't think it will be any harder to get in then the 818S with the soft top on. The rear side windows look like a good place for an intake scoop on the drivers side as you wont be looking out that one anyway. Just have to work out how to get a window demister/aircon under the dash.
Yes now show pictures. AC is already going in my car as we speak... Santa I've been a good boy this year.

I'm hearing great things from my insider but they won't share pics with me yet. Smart.
I'm hoping they make it compatible with the soft top side windows. This would make the retrofit that much easier.

Happy Holidays from the guys at Factory Five!!!
Is that even the 818? I realize its not full scale but the contours dont resemble the 818.
No, it is the early miniature model of Rodneys concept for the design competition.
It resides on the wall in the FFR shop.

How about with power windows? Wouldn't that be a game changer. There is a reason this top has been delayed. Lots of R&D going on to make this "hair on fire" they will make it the best they can while still keeping it affordable. What will make it into production only few know (and I am not one of them). As I said when they release it, it will be worth the wait. BTW Jay post is not far off from what I have seen.

But it isn't April fools.......
Spoon hardtop would work for me if we are going the S2000 route
Power windows are great and all and would certainly be a game changer. But from my perspective, a toy car like this should be a roadster first, meaning I would only put a hard top on in spring and fall to extend the driving season. The added weight, cost, and complexity of power windows wouldn't be worth it to someone such as myself.
To be fair, the soft top is obviously a better match for someone like me, so my opinion should be properly discounted
