Installed euro fogs and AIR splitter. Also replaced the stone guards on the passenger side. One side to go. Still waiting on mirrors and door handles to come back from paint.

Ok I posted a few pages back with some crappy pics from the original web ad when I bought the car.
Here is a current pic taken this week during our nice warm spell here in southern Ontario. It's the first time I have seen it with the top down!
To avoid the obvious questions. It is an 86 944 converted in 1987 into a cabriolet, and has a Gemballa body kit on it.

That's gotta be one of the cleanest 944s I've ever seen. Very nice!

The top fits surprisingly well. If you didn't know that it was not factory, you might think that it could be. Car is pretty quiet while driving as the roof is insulated.
The real giveaway is when you are actually taking down the roof. It is actually two pieces. It has a targa top that pops off and stores in the trunk. It is fairly solid, and insulated making it farily quiet. You can actually drive it around as a targa with the front section removed. It only takes a minute to take it all down, and put the cover over it, which makes it look neat and tidy while cruising. The car is obviously reinforced, and does not rattle with the top down. The roof does rattle a bit when in the up position. (seems normal for older convertables)

Do you have any picture of the car with the top closed.
