Someone on ppbb had the GAHH installed recently, I don't think installation was that expensive, they were very pleased. Do a search, it was within the last two weeks I think.

Everyone think I should get another black top, or should I go with tan to match the interior or something else that goes with green?

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

A tan colored top on that car, one that matches your interior, would look spectacular in my book. Green and tan is a classic combination.
On the other hand, a black top will make the car look very elegant as well.
I am afraid I'm not much help, and I'd be very perplexed if I were you right now. Ugh.

Haha, I am. I'm leaning towards black though... Probably looks better with tint and doesn't dirty as easily.

I have a graphite grey top right now and it does seem that darker color top hides the dirt and abrasions better as the top ages. I'm probably going to get a darker shade of grey.

I talked to a shop that says they can get the GAHH top w/ glass for $621 after shipping and charge $650 for installation so I would be looking at close to $1300. I am gonna call a couple other shops and get an install price too.

That's a great deal!! A friend just replaced the convertible top on her Oldsmobile Cutlass (yes, I also wonder why my friend drives an Oldsmobile) for $1200. It's a vinyl top of far inferior quality to the GAHH. And she shopped around for a good deal, too!

I've installed several tops on old MG's, Triumph's, Healey's, etc. I could usually install one in an afternoon. I don't know how much more involved a Boxster top would be to install. But I would imagine that it could be done in a day.
I wonder if the GAHH replacement top comes with instructions?
My top is still in great shape, but I do plan on going with the new replacement top with the glass back window when the time comes.
