    Congrats Mike!

    They look great!

    It took a few years, but you finally got the Saratoga top you wanted.

    Greetings Tifosi.

    I am really starting to think about an extra color-matched top for my GTSi kinda like Mike's and Pizzaman Chris' which is one of the nicest looking 308s I have seen here on Fchat.

    Something about breaking up the rooftop's black lines catches my eye. Would also want to paint the windshield frame Rosso Corsa.

    Nice having a full set of them.

    Being the owner of a black car I guess I get the benefit of having a roof that is already body colored. Now to find a Saratoga top. I was offered one last year, but declined on it.

    I didn't know how rare they were and I could not talk my wife into it. Gotta keep her happy too. I was overjoyed she let me get the car to start with.

    That 3/4 front shot with the leaves in the background is great. I had to right click and save that one. Those clear turn signal lenses are really nice.

    Why not have all three? I like the way you think! I noticed the seat belts are red with the badge on them, were they purchased or did you modify them? thanks, lost

    Mike,
    Thanks for posting "top on" pictures.
    I'm getting my car painted soon and am going to have the top painted. I'm also thinking of painting the rear roof spoiler body color; just for a different look. If I don't like that, it's easy enough to paint black again.

    Rob, all I did is took the targa top to my local body shop and told them I wanted it smooth finish and match the body color, he said they have to sand it down and apply some type of sealer then paint it.

    Thanks Barry, I got lucky they are getting hard to come by.

    Thanks Henry, double bubble top would great for track as it will give you head room for helmet and taller person.

    Tom, my seat belts are not red, what you see is the one foot long seat belt padding that wraps around the seat belt.

    Mike,

    When I saw the picture you took from inside your car, I said: "I got to get me one of those!" Then I realized I have a GTB. :D

    You were indeed lucky to find one. Enjoy!
