Looks good, hope you told to keep the top up, and in the sun to get warm and stretch properly.

$1K total ... top with install ... not bad. I try and do most things myself but I have never messed with atop and wanted it done right. This one should get me another 18 yrs out of her.

Interior is black. Original was black. I like the Torch Red with the black top.

I like the Oak interior but have never been a big fan of the Oak tops on Torch Red ... but that's why they make different ones each person likes what they like.
