Qwight, There are 2 routes you can go.
1. buy a 2002 and earlier top with a glass window. Advantages; it's cheaper and less work than option 2, and you'll have a top with a glass rear window. Disadvantages; you'll have slightly less room to access the engine bay.
2. buy an 03-04 frame and top. Advantages; you'll have the roofline of the 03-04 cars, and the extra hoop in the frame gives you better access to the engine bay. Disadvantages; Costs more time and money, and the 03-04 frames can be tough to get hold of.

In the end, no more "Boxster Chop".
Keep in mind; with either option, the glass window is smaller than the plastic rear window you have now.
