the rear section was my difficulty, as i found it impossible to get a linear 5mm gap.... some parts are 5mm some are less and other sections are like 6.5mm!! lol in the end i settled on the best i could do and got it pretty good. in the process managed to slip the hardtop on the body in numerous places and nearly took the thing off and sold it on!! lol luckily car came out unscathed, and is unmarked..... i had visions on having to buy 2 near rear fender panels!! lol will be adding some black details shortly to complete the theme.. Tekcarbon mirror housings, alpina rear spoiler with black pinstripe on the leading edge and im thinking of doing something very brave with some aero side skirts!!

What part did you adjust to eliminate the gap at the front corners? I kinda gave up, right now I have a piece of black electrical tape over it to kill the wind noise.

Byron, I just saw your hardtop pics. Looks great in black! I wouldn't paint the a-pillars, or any other major body parts. Might start to look tacky. Maybe try wrapping them to see how it would look first.
Where did you get your little supercharged badges? I want those. Very subtle

im going to add the tekarbon mirror covers, leaving the pillars stock, i will add the alpina rear spoiler and have a black sapphire pinstripe on the trailing edge, im definitely going for the aero side skirts as well.... all in all only a tiny mount of black detail to just nail down the black top detail.... it certain its going to look pretty amazing...... those little supercharged badges were from a 80s vw rallaye with the g60 supercharged g-ladder engine.... those badges were 40.00 bucks a piece!! lol they are however perfect and are just the right length to go under the ///M badge...... i Really enjoyed adding those on, they look really special imo.... i also like to give people an idea why my little z4 just dusted them :-)

Finally got around to picking up the hardtop. Little did I know, it came with a few extra goodies. To rub it in some, here is what I got:
- One (1) Jet Black 668 Hardtop (one small scratch but seals are perfect and it came with all hardware, covers, locking tool, etc) - One BNIB Hartop Storage Bag - One Hardtop Storage Stand (used) - Free help installing it ...how much you say? $852 out the door Everything fit pretty well. I installed the hardtop prep kit last night, went smooth, took about a hour and ten minutes start to stop. Hardtop plopped right on. Didn't perform any adjustments yet, but the drive home (and a short section of 80 MPH) confirmed no real wind noise from the front, but some from the back corner of the drivers window. No squeaks/creaks though. Decided to run it through an automatic wash to test the seals (lol...yeah...) and found that both front corners, by the A pillars, let water in when it was on the high PSI rinse. All in all

Haha, wouldn't have blamed you for a second....
Beedub; Thanks. I thought about painting it silver, and still may, but for a bit I'll probably just keep it black. I have some H&R springs waiting and plans for wheels come summer, so those might help pull it off a bit better than rolling stock.
