Good deal on replacement top

[cardiffgiant]

The quotes were all over the places to buy a top and have it installed locally. Once quote was as high as $2500 out the door. They wanted to charge full retail for the top and then charge $600-1000 to install. I thought the prices were ridiculous, but these places were months out on scheduling... so the market clearly bears the price.

I finally found a place that does upholstry for cars and boats that willing to install a top that I bought. I bought mine from autotopsdirect for about $500-550. Installation was another $500.

My concern is the skill/experience of the installer. I'm guessing (like most things "Porsche") that past experience, of the installer, is of prime concern. I'm guessing that a convertable top installer who hasn't done one, or two, or more wouldn't be the best choice.

I just found someone recommended to me from Porsche who will do it for $450.

Much better than the prices I was given a few months ago ranging from $900 to $1200.

That is about $350.00 USD. A good deal indeed.
