I run either myself, depending on the season. Right now with it so warm, I'm running the soft top. for $250, it's a deal if it's in good shape. And since I'm guessing you mean for a track/kick instead of a sammy(because of your nickname). If that's the case, you usually unbolt the soft top hardware and frame, leaving the front latches but removing the front frame and pivots and that's it. Some rear sections need a plate screwed onto the lower rear corners of the targa bar for the hard top to attach to, but the front section should just clip right into the factory latches...
