Thanks Oaktown! Back during 2005 when I ordered the top GAHH had two materials to choose from. I chose the higher quality material but don't remember what they called it.
I've seen their ad on the left side of this site advertising their new "Ultimate Boxster Top" with the frameless glass. If I ever have to buy a new one I will choose that one.
Best of luck,

Finally bought the A5 glass GAHH top! Dropped at Metzel's in SF (referred by coworker who has an amazing new top on his E36 Bimmer) and labor charge is only $800.
Sawwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

My latest Costco purchase was a new Rebel X1I, so you better believe a video and pic album will be posted sometime in the next 2 weeks. I've also installed the Spyder taillights, so it should look pretty clean all said and done.
On that note, I have an Arctic Silver 99 and was thinking about getting my factory shoes powdercoated black. I've seen a couple good looking pics on the forum here. Any thoughts?

It seems people either love or hate the black wheels. I happen to love them! I had my 17's powder coated and sold them with a great set of tires on them after buying my 19's. Now I wish I would have kept them to mix things up occasionally.

$800 for installation is a LOT of money. It's a 4 hour job for someone who knows how to do them... They charged you $200 an hour for labor! 
My mechanic quoted me $450... but he's not a certified GAHH approved installer for that warranty. Let's hope your installer was GAHH certified for that price so it will have the full replacement warranty attached to it.

Love the black. I think I'm going that route for my all season tires, and this summer I'm going to get some sticky tires on slightly bigger rims for blasting around Cali at high speeds.
RE: $800; that is for an GAHH licensed install as well as fixing one of the arms I broke (don't leave hardcover books on the convertible ledge) and resynching it. Also, I've read it's a 6 hour job, so it's $133 an hour, which is the market rate here in San Francisco.

Extra repairs and parts. Makes a lot of sense.
Wow that labor rate is really high. Of course, you can make $100k a year in SF and still be forced to live in a shack an hour away in Northern California.
It's the price one pays for living in a really nice part of the country I guess
