Steve, I have a Hardtop on mine and since you are going to be driving it frequently and cruising a lot, I would urge you to consider one. A bit pricy but, oh so worth it.
Plus my wife just loves riding a Cobra replica that is very protected on long trips weather-wise.
Congrats on your purchase. Product is well made, no, correction, excellently made, you will not regret the purchase. Enjoy.
Juan
