Looks great, but why did you not go for the glass window?

Nice! What brand top is it? I'm near getting a replacement top for my car, and installing it myself.

Did you use the DIY on Mike Focke's page, or did your top come with good instructions?

Thank you! It's a Stayfast Canvas. I ordered from : http://www.convertibletopguys.com/

Besides the fact it took 3 weeks for delivery! I can't be happier with the results.

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 have the same color combo with a glass top from GAHH - get lots of complements. Enjoy!

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 saw a similar color scheme on a Miata the other day and wondered if it would look as good on a Boxster. Thanks for answering my question. Very unique and I like it!

Having an Ocean Blue / Metro Blue theme, I like the way you think!

That color combo looks awesome. It looks like a very upscale factory job and makes the car look very expensive.
