I've ordered 15 sets of his original headers and he produced them, unfurtuanley not many liked their $ 900+ per set price. So, enl...

Re: Cabrio ragtop storage boot lid

for the visual effect, I've seen cabrios with material removed and lid color matched.

oem weights 13kg's / 26lbs, so it can save a little weight too.

my cabrio is Delphin Metallic so cf parts don't standout as much.

Cabrio ragtop storage boot lid

Aloha guys,

A few years ago I saw a CF or fiberglass lid for the storage area where cloth top folds into. It was at some auction in UK.

Does anyone have a link or picture for it ?

Mahalos,
