I have both a standard top, which came on my JK, and a Sunrider which I picked up on craig's list. The side bow is different in that there is a hinge in the Sunrider. The door surrounds are also different, there is a latch built into the Sunrider surround which holds the side bow down in place when the Sunrider portion of the top is open. If you go to this thread:

and scroll down to post #38 you will find photos that I posted of the Sunrider pieces before I installed them on the JK. The surround part number is in one photo. I have not found anyone who has been able to buy the bow for the top. The canvas part of the tops are alike.

it's a lot more grief in the end trying to convert it than getting a new top. I remember others asking the question in 8/08 or so, a few months after I bought mine.

Exactly, I bought mine brand new off craig's list for $375. Got the entire top and all the parts for that price. You would spend more on the parts to do the conversion than that.
