My Softguy quotes $1000 if you want to spend less then feel free is what he had to say. There is a wide array of quality and finishes out there. I have seen some absolute shockers that suck badly paid for by people looking to save a $$$$$.
The guy that I use has been making soft tops for over 15 years and actually drives a buggy so understands what force is on one at 100 kmph.
Whoever you goto make sure they have done a heap of car soft tops. Not Boat Canopies or Camper trailers. These babies need to hodl tight and look good at 100 kmph plus.
Also be very careful of material .. there is good stuff and there is bad, looks and feel can be very misleading if you are not careful.
You should ask Kurt who does his as it seemed to look good / work well.

yep .. buy cheap and you get wet and upset everytime you have to go play in the rain.
Many come in under $1000, it just depends on exactly what you want and how your buggy is set up. I have had a few done and none have ever gone over.
