Yes, you have the right year for the Plug and Play....well 4 bolts and the defroster plug really.

No messing around required. Just install and go for a drive.

So easy your neighbors kid could do it.

You will love having a glass window. No plastic window distortion, No boxster chop to help fold the top when its going down. Clear rear view on cool damp mornings.

Your biggest problem will be figuring out what to do with your old top. Mine is still sitting in the corner of the garage. It does not seem to have much value, maybe $150, but apart from the plastic window its in great shape so I couldn't just throw it out.

Then I had an idea. Convert the old top into a Spyder style top. All the hardware is there, just need to modify the rear fabric panel to a pleasing shape and create some rear attach points, perhaps web straps that comes from the Trunk area so you can tuck them away when using your regular top.
