Thanks...for me the grey top looked too washed out, especially after I removed the window tint...but you are right, it is unique even though I use the top only 10% of the time when I drive it.

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.

Just finished a bunch of mods and finally got a chance to take some decent pics with it all cleaned up.
1st Pic Before:
Other pics after:
Pioneer AVIC-F90 system with amp and speakers install
New Black convertible top and trim pieces (replaced grey top and trim)
PSS9's lowered
Replaced cracked wood console with matching grey leather-wrapped console (Thanks Eric at BumperPlugs!)
Chrome guage rings
Looks great, it always seems like convertibles *really* benefit from the lowering treatment.
Have you considered spacers to push those nice wheels out a bit?
Great color, go Mark I !
I am thinking about a double-din audio unit as well and would like to move my env controls down and replace the CD holder with a cuby. Where can I get those parts? Suncoast?
thats one of the prettiest cab Ive seen, I think the leather rear console looks so much better than the wood... wood is nice but to much just totally kills the effect. Great job... enjoy!
Would spacers work with those? Not familiar with that whole process....
Thanks, I'm glad I went with the leather console too!
Thanks everyone for your comments!
Thanks! My grey top was shot (window) and the trim pieces looked worn and dirty, so I decided to swap it out with black and LOVE it....the contrast looks so much better IMO. What do you think? (See before and after pics: sorry about the bad pic...just took it from my phone this morning to show you the difference)
Thanks! Just get your checkbook out! lol
Must be a Wuffie fan huh? lol Gotta show your school allegience...besides, NCSU-red doesn't fit the car's color scheme!
I think the black top looks good. However, I also like the gray top, mostly because it is relatively unique to see a top other than black. Good job!!!
It's too bad we never had a chance to meet in person when I lived in Concord, about 5 miles from Lowes Motor Speedway.
Thanks...for me the grey top looked too washed out, especially after I removed the window tint...but you are right, it is unique even though I use the top only 10% of the time when I drive it.
I am in Matthews myself...if ya get down this way again, let's hook up...not sure how many 996's around here, but I've seen a few.
Very clean looking cab and your rear wing looks great too... How many miles do you have on this car? Also how much for the new top part and installation if you don't mind? BTW is the top OEM or aftermarket? Sorry for so many questions... Cheers,
Thanks! The wing was part of the factory Aero package...not exactly sure what it is called...maybe Aero Wing or Tail?
Thanks man! I have just over 50k on it...the new top is aftermarket and was $1200 plus installation was around $800 I think...but I also did the trim pieces covering the "rollbar" area with new black trim pieces.
Great conversion!! Very clean! I have the metro blue top. Did they change out the trim pieces when you got the new top or did you do it yourself. My top is down a lot and my blue trim is a bit faded.
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.
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?
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
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.
Bob
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
