Good day, all.

I was eight years old when Porsche put its 914 concept on display. I had to wait a half century, but I finally own a Porsche, a 1999 Boxster 986 Tiptronic, 85,000 miles, very good condition, bought it from a guy with a small collection and a very nice back story linking him to Formula One.

It is almost exactly the car I have waited for all these years, and I just grin every time I walk into the garage.

My question: I will be installing the Z-Art Cayman-style hardtop. Has anyone here installed one, then installed a sunroof?

And yes, I know just how insane it sounds to take a convertible, install a hardtop and then install a sunroof. But this is about lust and aesthetics, not reason. If it was about reason, I'd drive a 15-year-old Honda Accord.

This is about giving that eight-year-old boy exactly the gift he's waited 50 years for.

Appreciate any and all input in helping make this project happen.

Best to all of you, and be well.

Michael.

p.s. Tried to upload a pic, but board kept rejecting it. The last error message said I was wearing white shoes after Labor Day. Sigh ...
