Boxster info/DIY/links needed

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new here and glad to be here. Thanks to you i already changed my ignition switch

I'm a recent and proud owner of a 2002 Boxster S and would be very appreciative to get any and all recommendations and/or DIY links to the following:

1) Replace my Convertible top w/Glass Window. It has a hole thru the plastic window. I'd like to know what cloth type you would recommend including whats better for sound proofing outside wind noise. (fyi...During day here in my part of So Cal its usually hot to mild with a few months of rain. Nightime temp rarely get below 60 degrees)

Ebay Seller TOPSONLINE.COM has been selling two styles. His feedback Boxster owners left him has been positive on both tops

A. He sell one for $525. Its made with Haartz Stayfast Cloth-Canvas material & DOT rated Defroster Glass

B . This one is $575. Its made with Original Black German (A5 Sonnenland) Cloth-Canvas

2. Changing my amber instrument/dash cluster lights to Blue. Where can i get the lights and how can i do it myself (note: I understand lights/led's may be wired differently on 2002's vs 1998-2001's)

3. Moving Spoiler Switch to closer available switch The following place sells the switch but i needed to know to install it (i need low tech instructions!)

4. The BOSE speaker system speakers that utilizes the storage space behind the seats are blown A. What's easiest way to remove and replace these? B. Do you recommend I replace with different speakers?

Thanks a lot!!!
