Replace the convertible top to a brand new all black with glass top, also replaced the oem wheels to 19" and a new exhaust. Check her out!

Are those rims a direct fit? Those rims look huge to me... like a Matchbox car. Nice.

Looks awesome and updated. Is that a GAHH TOP with glass? If so, how was the install and quality?

Looks great. I too would like to hear some specifics about the top.
Thanks for sharing.

Mods!
 
Well the tops cost me $625 plus the install was another $500 the top is a Robbins top direct oem style fit. Its an awesome top and the glass option makes it even sweeter. The wheels were a direct fit no issues there. I am in the North Side of Chicago for those that live in Chitown :dance:

The install for the exhaust went smoothly, havent had a chance to take a pic of the exhaust however, it's nice. Total in Mods so far. Headers/Exhaust $1,065. Top $625 Wheels $1,100 approx, Tires $577, Schnell Short shift kit $159, Evo intake $350. Exhaust intall $80, convertible top $500. I need to do the header install which I will leave that for the pros and the spark plugs and finally the SOFTWARE which I will leave for last. The car is in winter storage and I ONLY take it out when its nice outside. No issues with ride quality but a little better handling especially in corners. The tires need to be broken in for about 200 miles or so and the ride will become even nicer.

Anybody interested in a good used exhaust pm me :cheers:

I would REALLY like to have the glass up top.... the "chop" is killing me - bought a luxury car, and here I am getting out of my ride half way through the top being lowered...

Would love to hear your opinions on the positives and negatives on the changeout..... Cause a couple grand could be well worth it for me.

Your car looks great.

would you mind posting some detail pictures of the new top?

New mods
 
Well compare my stock car to the new mods it sure made some visual improvements and slight performance. The exhuast sounds and performs good, I have no issues with the new top and new set of shoes. My best investment was on the convertible top boy did I hate that plastic window on the back. For now I have no issues lets hope it stays that way....

Thanks to all
