Thanks! The top was $641 shipped to Hawaii and my local installer charged $450 for the labor (remove and reinstall). Total: $1091. They hooked up the rear defroster for me as well, which is a matter of plugging in the wire.

I assume the top frame is the 3 bow. How well does the top go up/down with the glass window ? What about the service position ?

Wow - agree with everyone...looks amazing!

My top is still in great shape. The plastic window is starting to show some age, so thanks for posting a great option for future replacement.

My car is Ocean Blue and the top is Metropol Blue.

Yes, the frame is the pre-2003/2004 facelift. I can't comment on the function just yet as I had it done this past weekend and I have to leave it closed for a few days to let the fabric stretch. I'll probably give it a shot when I get back from vacation in a couple weeks. I don't want any hassles before I leave. I will be sure to report back.
