Thanks for adding the pics! The old top looked fine, but the new one looks good too. Seems to have been well done. Glad that you're happy with it.

Blue on blue is my favorite vert combo. Very few, though gaining some popularity.

Thanks for the picture before and after. I showed to my half and she prefers contrasting....with light oak. I played a bit to see if bicolor would be nice but I am not sold.... but since only the side panels are worn, I thought it could be good enough....

Good looking car. While I also prefer the contrasting top that came with the car, the blue one looks good and it appears the shop that performed the install did a great job.
