I'm a DIYer for a lot of things, but putting on a new top makes me uneasy.
Yeah, I took a bunch of photos of the roof, during and after.
Here's a few:

Silver Side Engine Compartment Louvres

Not a really big deal, but I do believe that, for a dark colored car, painting these louvres silver makes the car look better than does their OEM black color.





And, the end result:

I like the 987 wheels on the ocean blue metallic (at least that's what I think the colour is). I have the same colour. Going to see about chasing down a set myself. Painted ducts look good.

Fixed blown subwoofer

Well my son was visiting and during our cruise was showing off my stereo, when I go do you smell that 😱burning smell. Well toasted the pioneer sub woofer in my cabriolet footwell box. I replaced it with an 8” kicker with a higher rms rating. Also took time to clean the carpeting on it.
