Rick, buy the Porsche top from Sunset in Oregon and have a local trim shop install it for you. You'll still probably save a bundle compared to your local stealership doing it. Dealers mark up parts so far over retail its ridiculous... then they slap a book rate on the hours it will take to put it on and if the mechanic takes half the time, you still pay the full book rate.
