Nice work on the mods!

Please give us a pic of the center-bar-removed-grill. I've been wondering what it would look like and haven't tried to photoshop it (yet). I wish the cutout were a bit more oval-y.

New perforated leather headlinder, which means all the glass is coming out. I'm getting a new front screen since it's pitted really badly.

Heigo 993 RS bolt-in roll bar is ordered. The DAS bar worked fine but it blocks quite a bit of the rear view.

Bill Verburg has the horizontal bar deleted on his car. You can check out his pictures. I think Don Plumley has his blacked out.

FYI, the duck tail was test fitted and definitely needs removal of one of the struts, unless I want to use it as an air brake Thinking about just putting in an prop rod, and put some speed holes in the hinges.

If you want to retain stock look, see if you can muster up some spent struts from another Rennlister. There must be dozens of them out there. Mine were shot when I installed my duck. Post installation, they offered the perfect resistance with the lightened lid. Nice progression with the mods. She looks perfect.

Speaking of which, what have people used for insulation material in the roof? I used thin vinyl/foam for under the carpet. Wonder if I should just use the same thing. Is the 3M adhesive going to hold up with the metal getting hot under the sun?

I used grey Perlon on mine, originally was going to use left over blue sliver knit but the trimmer wanted to use something a bit stiffer.

Thanks. Do you know what the material is, and if covers the roof completely. It's only $50 from Porsche, which means it's probably worth less than $5. I'm thinking it's probably just a piece of cardboard
