with shipping it came out to around $988, plus i paid another $400 to have it installed. yes it's the A5 acoustic material.

i have no idea what the other ones on ebay are. what year is your boxster?

it isn't that much smaller width-wise, maybe an inch on each side. think about how often you need to look behind you. 99% of the time it's when you're backing up and you're barely moving. i've learned to adjust to using the side mirrors to see behind me the other 1%...

putting on the new top is a decision i have never regretted. honestly i don't do a lot of top-down driving unless it's at fairly low speeds. over 80 for any extended period of time and it's almost painful to drive with the top down. plus i wear hoodies and they tend to whip around and smack me while i drive.

plus i get sunburnt quite easily...
