Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

19 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I had a new GAHH top installed on my box over the weekend and thought I'd share the pic. I was looking all over the web for a blue boxster with blue GAHH top and didn't really come up with anything. Let me know what you guys think.

POST 4Original post

Beautiful! I replaced the grey top on my Lapis Blue with a blue one as well

POST 6Original post

Looks great, but use lots of RaggTopp, otherwise it will turn purple.

POST 7Original post

I have the same color combo. I also have the metropole blue interior! Somewhat rare but we are out there. Love the new top. I am looking to do the same upgrade soon.

POST 8Original post

Beautiful color combo! How much was the new top installed? I have a silver 2000S with Metropole blue top and interior...

Quotes source post: 397122

Thanks! The top was $641 shipped to Hawaii and my local installer charged $450 for the labor (remove and reinstall). Total: $1091. They hooked up the rear defroster for me as well, which is a matter of plugging in the wire.

POST 11Original post

I assume the top frame is the 3 bow. How well does the top go up/down with the glass window ? What about the service position ?

POST 12Original post

Incredible! Is that Lapis? I've been working with Lapis 3A8 over the last few days and got to say that I'm loving it.

POST 13Original post

Wow - agree with everyone...looks amazing! My top is still in great shape. The plastic window is starting to show some age, so thanks for posting a great option for future replacement.

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My car is Ocean Blue and the top is Metropol Blue. Yes, the frame is the pre-2003/2004 facelift. I can't comment on the function just yet as I had it done this past weekend and I have to leave it closed for a few days to let the fabric stretch. I'll probably give it a shot when I get back from vacation in a couple weeks. I don't want any hassles before I leave. I will be sure to report back.
