I mention NAPA because our local store seems to carry the stuff (basic stuff) other stores do not. I'm sure if you need some exotic profile you could find something on-line or special order it.
Hmmm...that's a good suggestion, although it makes me kind of nervous. I think people have DIYed weatherstripping like that on this car before for other hardtops that didn't come with it.

The car I was looking at has a nice new soft top which I feel bad about throwing away, if I get that one I might just ditch the hardtop plan. The Honda "baby NSX"/"export S660" rumors came back again, so maybe I'll be switching to that car afterall...
