looks fantastic - they look best on arctic silver I think.
what stories have you heard about that happening because that is something I am worried about.

Thanks

Have fun with your fantastic looking "Hybrid", congratulations!

Would be great to see some pics of the fittings, locks and inner shell, too.

Tomorrow, I will post pictures with the perfect fittings, locks and inner shell.
On my request the "inner"roof is black without covering/layer.

I thinks its awesome!

it happened to me. I am on my second z-top. the spinlock mounts are attached to the inner shell and flex it differently than the outer shell. of course, it may have occurred because of how I stored it - resting on the three mounting points. they say that fiberglass isn't the best solution for complex shapes mounted at multiple points. regardless, an excellent piece of kit and worth every penny. I am on my second not because the first came apart, but because I went through a 'i'm selling my boxster' phase and the top sold but the car didn't. wound up having to buy another top as a result.

Hi all

As promised a picture from the inner shell
In my opinion, the lock is very nice done, so the colour.

Bye!
