Hard tops from 90 thru present will fit any year Miata. Many available on
ebay. likely to pay between $900-1200.

Yes they will fit, but the cost involved can vary widely depending on
the combination of car year and top year. See for more info:

It's definitely some sort of plastic/resin stuff. Don't know
if it's got fiber reinforcement or not.

Can you use the Miata touchup paint on any flaked off pieces of the top?
