I didn’t actually buy anything today. I had this thread lying around for tying oboe reeds and decided to replace the strip of yellow electrical tape I’d previously used with something a bit more in keeping with the rest of the interior.

Yup — a new top. 2017 cabrio. The top was damaged by a detailer. Tons of scratches and deep abrasions - of course he denied it!
It drove me nuts seeing a pristine Xpel’d and Ceramic coated paint with a crummy top.
Finally pulled the trigger—despite the cost. New factory top installed by a local upholstry and convertible top specialist. King’s Auto Upholstry — for anyone in Southwest Virginia.
Local P dealer and it’s sub hadn’t ever replaced a 2017 top — nor did this guy. I rolled the dice and couldn’t be happier. Looking brand new again. Major sigh of relief!

What did that set you back if you don't mind sharing?
SOUL sport cats and exhaust system for my 991.2CS without PSE.
Cant wait to get it. Will be documenting the install on my instagram @scottsrides and making a YouTube install video.
Well I went down the rabbit hole and ordered some Exclusive Option espresso leather bits. I didn't get the extended dashboard this time, but later decided I wanted the dash end caps so I ordered some custom ones - there was a mixup and I got leather door handle inserts instead! I liked them so I bought them rather than send them back. They did also quickly make the dash end caps I ordered.

I love the door handle inserts! I thought my car had pretty much everything covered in leather ($65K in options - bought pre-owned...), but I do not have those. Did you get them from through your dealership or through some other channel? Depending on the cost, I might do that. Also, how did they install?
