Thanks for posting the pics. I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it. Doesn't do it for me but it's interesting, different but interesting.

Well isn't that something! Looks nicely made too - not suprised that it cost you a pretty penny.

USNA... dude... so sorry man - we totally hijacked your thread. Lots of peeps go with the GAAH tops and apparently they are very good quality. I got mine from Prestige Auto Trim in the UK for $500 shipped and I have no complaints.

Not sure if Boxsterfire is selling that leatherette top or just showing it to us, but there is a lot to be said for getting a whole top already mounted on the frame. It would save you about seven hours work (you and a buddy) and a lot of bad words.

I wonder if I could get a top made in that black and white cow hide look that you see seat covers made from, and then get the seat covers to match... or maybe camo...yeah, that's it, I want a camo top and seat covers!

selling my top. you can see the thread here.
http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26777

if i were in the spot to need a new window / top i probably would replace it with a glass top. the install cost is probably going to be the same either way.

about that vinyl top! like another has said it doesn't do anything for me, but i swear until i saw it i would never have believed it. any pics of it on the car?
