2. One of our repro tops – fiberglass – no glass, no weather stripping or hardware (top only) - $799.


1. Your Porsche dealership has them for around $7,000."


When I asked how many parts were required to get the $799 stripped fiberglass hardtop ready to go on the car (using lexan windows) he replied:

"Sam…

Here’s the best deal for you, if you buy through us… Buy the OEM top we have for $3,000. It comes with everything. If you buy just the repro top from us you’ll still need to spend about $2,500 on stuff before you can install it. Check with your dealership to confirm that estimate. Then, if you’re interested get back to me.

Cheers.

Larry"

I replied that a brand new [Lapis Blue] hardtop is $2700 from Sunset Porsche so he stopped writing to me.
I'm confused, they said they no longer make the hardtop, but offer an O.E.M. one for $3000 and the stripped down version still for $799??? What happened to the one for $1049? It's the same as the $799 one, only it comes with the weather stripping and window. I think the "O.E.M." one IS the $3000 one after you add the Seal Gray paint job they are charging you for. I could deffinately buy the fiberglass one that they sell with the heated rear window that cost $1049 primered and go some place else to have it painted.
