You have to go Kline from the beginning. I just went through this these past 2 weeks. @SupremePower can hook you up regardless.

I’m a Kline fan boy, but some people are satisfied with just a bit more volume from stock which the OAP mod delivers.

Obviously this is super location dependent, but how much something like that costs where you live?

Until they ride in or hear a Kline equipped car that is!

Honestly I was strongly considering just OAP, as all the backbox options for these cars are super expensive, but in the name of "buy once cry once" I just went with the Kline inconel. My only regret is waiting almost a year to do it!

Kind of a silly question then, isn't it? How long is a ball of string?

But, if you want ballparks, a two car garage usually starts in the $50s for a simple construction in an inexpensive market and can go way up from there depending on what you are doing and materials used. I'm currently working on getting one next year (hopefully) but mine needs to be 40' deep to accommodate an RV and a boat plus we want plumbing and a office and game room upstairs so...

Not every question needs to be sophisticated, sometimes it is just simple curiosity

I build homes in the north east. Not sure where that is but the way that’s done (well from what I can see) I don’t think I could build it for much less than $100k, would expect a to pay at least 2x that if hiring someone to do it. Looks awesome. I wish I had the space to add one.

If you go to the end of this thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/718-foru...g-project.html I posted some more pictures of the car with the spoiler up along with @AdamIsAdam and @jeebsy . There are quite a few more pictures at the end with the spoiler up.

So first two purchases -

Covercraft Weathershield HP - very expensive, but I had this particular product for my MX-5 and loved it. It will take a few months before we move to a place with a closed garage, and I don't want to search a new home under pressure. And there is a cat here that loves my wife's roof, so he will probably love the Spyder soft top even more.

This thing - which is a good enough solution until I will wrap the sun visors.

Yap, after a while the disappointment from the ED experience passed and I was left with the fact I got one of the very last manual Spyders, customized to my liking, that I got for a great price and it would be stupid to give that up. **** happens.
Trying to convince the wife to get a Macan so we can do ED again
