Installed hardtop.


Winter coming, so I figured I'd be safe to have the hardtop on for the upcoming cold weather. And I like the look. It's like having two completely different roofs.

Looks much better than the 996 Cabrio hardtop - I hate those.

Drove my girlie girl in style to the groomer. The first pic is the point at which she realized this wasn't a fun backroad jaunt. The latter pic is after the groomer. I think she likes riding shotgun!

Changed wipers and the clutch interlock safety switch. Not much in there to take the screw out that holds in in place. Need size 10 torx bit

I like it!
Is that hard top black or black metallic...?
My C4S is black and my top is black basalt metallic -- if yours is black, wanna trade?

Finished up my 997.2 GT 3 front bumper with led drl and a GT3 wing. Front bumper was a tight fit!
Overall I love the new updated look.

^^^^ HOT!
Did you use spacers and longer caliper bolts to move the caliper out to accommodate the additional diameter?

Yes. It came in the kit.

Got the air filter done - yeah!

Did the Gundo hack. Holy f@$&. With the Sharkwerks bypass pipe (which I installed the other week), the car sounds perfect or dare I say exotic?

Also installed H&R springs and 15mm spacers in the rear/10mm spacers in the front. Ride quality is not compromised. In fact, with the new alignment, the ride quality is much improved. The wheels also sit nice and flush against the fenders. Not a crazy drop by any means, and I would have liked to go another half inch, but it still looks good.

Photos to come when the weather doesn't suck.

Installed the bracket for my hard top and lifted it with the winch.
This German-made solid aluminum bracket is great - very solid.
