Okay....so I couldn't help myself today, it was 50 F in Chicago....so I took the cover off the car, brought it over to my garage and installed the top (and had to look at some other things for the big Sunset sale coming up).....and I drove it 2 or so miles....I wanted to drive it all day....but the roads are not ready for that in Chicago....

A few more days to buy it at $399, it was about $45 or so for shipping as I recall.....if you didn't have one, it's no big deal, but if you are considering it, I would so do it. That's a great price for a brand new accessory. It fit really nicely, in order to get the sunroof pieces to engage I had to go outside the car and push down on it, then go back in and use the sunroof switch.

I finally figured out what "Position 1" was on the switch and how it disconnects the sunroof and reconnects. Duh.

Click this for the sale code to end on December 31st then you can choose "Saratoga Top" for details.

Anyway.....you would love the look alone. Looks very cool with the ever so slight gold tint. On the inside, you can't see any of the rivets as they are covered up by the air deflector on the front and ??? on the rear? I can't remember already. But it looks great!







You can't really tell in the picture, but the dash has the light from the sunroof shining on it, it's pretty cool as it's a tinted light vs. the other light in the car.

one day I called Suncoast, (in Sarasota, not Sunset) on the day after Thanksgiving

and went to order my big brake calipers...

turned out they were having a midnight madness sale that was going on for 24 hours.

ended up getting the rotors too. everything for pennies on the dollar.

these two dealerships rock !

January 28th they have their customer appreciation sale, from my understanding, 15% over cost.

I'm going to get all of my timing belt job parts plus I'm going to re-do the gaskets on my rocker panel covers and replace the rear hatch and latch gaskets.

I will put together a spreadsheet before hand and have it priced up by Andrea and then just place the order that day.

Looks nice Paul. Great add. You must be pleased that you didn't wait until spring to install it.

If you go to the last 10 or so pages of this thread, there was someone who stated he would ship to those over seas for them.

I love Italy!
