Thanks Tom! I'm just so thrilled my wife loves it. I love the combo myself and am surprised other Arena Red's don't have it.

Very nice, I love the colors.

I had a new GAHH put on my '02 a couple of months ago. Makes the car look newer and I love the glass.

I just checked topsonline.com... no burgundy type color tops. Luckily they have the grey top I want to get with a glass window.

I'd suggest you guys with older Boxsters - get the headliner! It makes the interior much nicer, and should help cut noise. They're not cheap, but I love having one in my car.

I'm with the others. Great choice in colors and major points for the self install.

Tear in the new top.....

After driving for a few days my wife finds this.... I file a complaint to www.convertibtopguys.com and Jane Sherman of Mtm manufacturing and she is not very accomodating at all. I just wonder how a company stays afloat with a customer service dept. so deficiently ****************ty. I'll keep you guys updated....

Thumbs up

Hi

Looks great, I love the color combo, how will you prove to the seller the cut was there before the install?
After all the work this sucks
Good luck and keep us posted.
