I can really get the cost down on the non mirrored product (but tinted bronze or smoke gray), enough that these could be in the $350 range. This is the busy season for the railing so I've only been taking small bites of the 911T version. My goal is to have the 944 version complete in 60- 90 days, with the 911T version to be available in Feb of next year. I would like to say sooner, but there are always problems that have to be worked out. The WAS Top was over schedule by 5 months, but is now in production.
At that price I would buy it for sure.

There will be options for the glass. A smoked gray or bronze will be the least expensive; mirrored gray will be the most expensive.

Target base price is $375, the mirrored option adds about $100.

No cash will be taken until I have tested, and I'm satisfied with product ready to ship.

I'm setting these up for the power roof as I don't have a manual one to test on.
I could look at waht modifications are necessay and if it's simple may be able to make manual ones.
