I think the way your 08 AO convertible is done is fantastic. I wouldn't change a thing.
What was your total cost of the conversion? Paint, panels, install? How many days was your car out of commission?
Thanks in advance.

It's a lot of work to swap all 5 panels and all the supporting items.
Here is my thread with a ton of pics of the conversion if you are interested.

Around $10k too, maybe a few benjamins less. But I had my entire csr painted...it's a much better paint job, sanded and buffed with no orange peel.
