I need to start thinking about changing my AOS, I know it's coming... Any words of wisdom to us who are not looking forward to it? Is it easier to get to it by removing the front engine panel?

I didn't remove the front panel. I did it from the top and bottom. I took off the top hose from the top. I did the bottom hose, the bellows and the bolts from the bottom. I jacked it up and took the wheel off. I removed the AOS from the top. Then just reverse order to put the new one in. It's a PITA for sure, it took me like 3 hours to do the AOS, purge valve and oil change. Have fun.

As Tommy said, access is from the top and bottom, nothing to gain by removing the front access panel. Be careful with the squeeze connectors on the AOS plastic hoses, they can be brittle. I have a thread on this somewhere in the tech and perf topic IIRC. You should be able to find my post along with many others regarding the AOS replacement through the search function. Also, there are some videos on utube.

Got my 01 S a Hard Top
After searching for almost 6 month on CL, I found the hardtop and in the right color.
Thanks to Tony for hooking me up with a pristine top, with the ski roof mount option.
Got lucky finding this on CL.
Ready for the winter now. Ready to go.

Congrats, I really enjoy my hardtop. It feels like a different car with it on.
