Um.. while the spyder is beautiful and one of my favorite new Porsches (I prefer the 987.2 vs the 981 version for some reason), I can't say I call a replacement top exactly "cheap"

$2300 for the top
$1500 for the window panel

Total: $3800

Wonder what replacement hardware costs if needed too

I would buy a spare now, cause if like say, 356 or 911 speedster tops, OEM replacements will become unavailable sooner rather than later.
