I agree with Mike, you should probably buy one from GAHH. They have a large array of colors, a great warranty, and have very high quality tops. Take your pick of colors!!

GAHH: Convertible Tops, Auto Interiors, Quality Convertible Tops

The top is usually a shade of the interior or exterior color, right? What color interior are we working with here??

Paintboy what is your damage? Does your ex drive a convertible with a red top? Or maybe you got dumped by a redhead for spending too much time in the garage. 5 posts to protest a top color most of us consider sharp and very "porsche" just seems too much. Even for a purist, a non-stock top color is among the lesser evils committed against these cars in the name of individualization.
My vote is in favor, though I agree there should be some tie-in to the interior, even if only dash bars painted to match.

Yep, agree that a tie in to the interior is necessary for it to look distinguished.

As far as being different, to each their own right, I mean all of us choose to drive a Porsche instead of the run of the mill car, so may as well bask in our non-conformity and show off.

In the end there is only one person the color has to please.....the wife Sad but true!

Guys, thanks for your various views. The fact that today's choice includes a silver car with a red top, means something- to me at least. And by the way, my interior is a full leather Boxster Red with lots of Carbon Fibre

Just having fun...did not think so many people would be so put off by joking. It's just a car. My car is arctic silver, but I have a gray interior..I'm stuck with a black top pretty much. Maybe deep down inside I have interior color envy. Thank you for pointing this out. You have saved me thousands on therapy.

What's the hang up with top having to match interior? Unwritten
code of style? May hurt resale? I understand it wouldn't match
factory original, but I'm no purist.

I might be getting a replacement top via insurance and want to
go with red. 01 base Seal Gray / grey int. Decided on glass window
and A5 acoustic, but waffling on color... Seen all the recs to stay
with black; grey looks good but shows dirt too easily; but I love
the red contrast. How bout if I just buy some red floor mats?
Can I get a witness?

I have a seal grey 2002...Black top, light grey interior. I would never switch away from the black. My car is pretty stealthy black and grey with black logo down the side. But I have to say...I LOVE THE RED top!
