I like it,it's different.

Do you have any experience changing out convertible tops before or did you just go for it?

PS. Shame you didn't go glass

I like it, I bet that color would look pretty nice on a black car.

I like it, too. Of course I'm a little partial to Arena Red myself.
If your wife's Boxster has no rear Boxster badge then I think I might have seen her on the Dulles Greenway back in July. I was in the other badgeless Arena Red Boxster that past by and gave her the thumbs up. There can't be that many of us around here.

Regards,

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.

Thanks. I had a great reference I found online : Mike Focke's Porsche Page. He had a brilliant step by step tutorial. I studied this first before executing my endeavor.
