Replaced my top!

Well, it took a number of hours and some cursing but I got it done. I think the gray top looks GREAT. I have some wrinkles in the top. I figure once it stretches a bit I will come back and restretch the front edge of the top.

Gray is a nice color for the silver Boxster. By the way, nice wheels.

Nice job jakekit

I like the color combination.

Was this your first time doing such an installation? That's a pretty gutsy move in my opinion!

Those are my favorite wheels… Where did you get those wheels?

Great job on the top, I have the same small wrinkles at the front corners (I did the replacement myself also). I left the wrinkles alone because you would have to glue/tack them to the metal plates underneath like the factory did to keep the material smooth/flat. My thoughts were I might have to replace the top again in a couple years but that was over four years ago and the top still looks great and I have had no issues with it.
