I got my Project-G G-String (with garters and revlimiter mod) this last week and installed it last weekend. Here's a review.
Build Quality: Extremely well made. I’ll put it like this: I installed a Robbins cloth top on my NB on the same weekend that I installed this Project-G top. The Robbins is widely regarded as being the highest quality top you can buy for a Miata. And the Project-G G-String is every bit as nice. Every part is engineered. Every stitch is straight. There are little rigid inserts in every edge to keep it from flapping. There’s little flaps in the front to get it glued down to the front bow correctly. It’s the goods. I’m blown away by the quality. A+
Initial Build: Difficult. The vinyl parts aren’t very hard. But that center brace is a little tough to get perfect. I spent a half hour grinding away tiny bits of plastic to get a perfect fit. It’s not like a big complicated install or anything, but it isn’t the easiest thing. I’d give it a C.
Install/Removal (once you have everything together): Very very simple. Seriously minutes. Just taking the top off and on is cake. I give it an A.
Useability: (How is it to live with this top?) This top is seriously great. There’s no ballooning at speed thanks to that center brace. There’s no flapping at all thanks to the many attachment points. There’s just shade and lots of ventilation. It’s wonderful. Everything I ever wanted in a bikini top. And better than anything I ever designed in my 5 years of working on-and-off on a bikini top project. A+
Overall: I love it. A++
