hardtop is getting painted- need spinlocks
So excited! My hardtop is in the shop getting painted right now (Seal Grey Paint Code Y1)!!!
It should be ready by tomorrow night, my only question is--where can I buy the spin locks online? I dont have a porsche dealer near by so I figured maybe I should just buy it online- but I can't find any links except for one in amazon.
Thanks guys 
after the hardtop is installed, its going in for 20% tints all around. I'll post up pics.

Suncoast Porsche and Sunset Porsche are the two dealers I order from. You'd never guess their websites:
www.suncoastporsche.com
www.sunsetporsche.com
Suncoast "may" have it on their website, if not, call them. Sunset doesn't have a parts website, you have to call them for pricing.
Congrats on the new top, just in time for winter!!!

thank you! Very helpful. Hopefully the top will not need much adjustment so I can just put it on and snap some pics.

If the DIY is not on this site, it is on RennTech. Trick is to use a plastic bag (like for dog poop) to avoid dropping pieces into impossible places.
I love my hardtop, it changes the feel of the car and (IMO) looks great.
And make sure you buy a storage rack for it. Roller or wall mount. I like my wall mount cuz it takes up no floor space.
The top can deform if not stowed properly.
Do be very careful mounting or removing the top. Those spikes that fit into the spinlocks are deadly sharp and quite able to scratch the paint.
And +1 for either Sun for mailorders.

I was looking for those, but then I realized I had them on...
What I've found interesting is that suncoast works with Amazon now!
Spinlocks - Amazon
I haven't checked it, but I liked the idea

I'm not sure I understand this part of your post. I am assuming you mean you are surprised to find that you car already had spin locks. That would be surprising since I think that only cars that came with the hard top option would have the spin locks. Maybe the previous owner of your car had a hard top and sold it.
Here's a post on Renntech showing a receiver with and without the spin locks:

You may want to double check.
