Great looking car! I understand why coupe drivers drive coupes, but there's something about ragtops and open air driving... I really like that Seal Gray - that was actually my first choice color, but no regrets with the Arctic Silver I ended up with... Tough choice to go with the black top, the gray really looked good too.

I opted for the plastic window cuz the glass was so small

Thanks! I bought the trim pieces and the upholstery shop put them in at the same time as the top....not sure what all was involved

That's the best feature of the car!

Thanks Rudy...yeah, the only reason I have the car is due to it being a cab...nothing like it IMHO! I'm not into tracking it or anything, just using it for "cruising" now, so it is perfect for that.

Personally I LOVE the black top and trim because of the contrast...plus it doesn't show stains and all like the grey did.

Nice color and I love the interior. Great touch with the wood trim.

Would spacers work with those? Not familiar with that whole process....
I installed 25mm spacers in the back and 5 in the front. Makes a difference but I am not sure if you can see it properly on the image. I have same wheels as yours.

Thanks! There aren't many fans of the wood interior here but I absolutely LOVE it myself!

Maybe with a few other pics and angles I could see the difference....what does it do for the performance (handling) if any?

Beautiful car...I like the side skirt and rear spoiler. May I ask how much does it cost to install those?

I can't feel any difference for the performance. I only use my car on roads, not on track. Maybe an experienced driver could feel a difference on a track.
My Car is in the garage for wintertime so I can't take some new shots right now. But believe me you will love it and it is a cheap and very easy mod

Nice stuff... I'm inspired ! The kit you installed really transforms the look.

Congratulations! that's beautiful.

BTW - is that a factory spoiler? I saw one that was similar on a '06 997 at a Charlotte BMW dealer, and I thought it looked very sharp.

Wow - 25mm spacers in the rear? Most folks go 15mm, sometimes all around and sometimes with 7mm or so in the front. Spacers are my next mod and I was considering 15mm... If you got a couple more shots of your rears with the 25mm spacers, I'd be interested in seeing them... I think wider, especially in the rear, is better... but I imagine there's a limit...

Thanks!

Rudy
