Tell me about these spacers. I find my H&R's are a bit too low.

Very nice top! If you don't mind me asking, how much was it to get the '03 top? (less than having the top re-done with glass?)
thanks!

i was fortunate at the 2016 hershey porsche flee market, it was near the end of the day, and the vendor did not want to take it home, i was able to negotiate the price to $200, far less than I have seen on the for sale forms. as I have a 99, I also needed to update the top transmissions, and relay. 2000-2004 have the newer style top transmissions, so all you need to find is a top. 6 bolts and your done, eash to change.

man you guys and your prices! I paid $1500 AUD for mine (about $800 US?)... I think even at that price though it comes out 'cheaper' than installing a new top in the long run as you can do it yourself for sure and in much less time than it takes to install a new one.

Just installed some LED H7 headlight bulbs. Much brighter and whiter than the the halogens they replaced. I do drive quite a bit at night and we have a lot of deer over here.

Can you recommend which LED H7's you went with? I ordered some for the driving lights, from 'the bay' and they eventually started to flash and shake ..... As I don't have Litronics, I'll have to try a poorer attempt

Not a "real" mod but I like these mats as my other oem mats were moving around too much.
