I bought my 2000 in 2004 and it had the Graphite Gray top (I think it's the darker of the 2 shades). The car only had 20k miles on it so it didn't see a lot of use. The top was definitely a bit discolored. Still looked OK because it was a rare look, but black tops definitely look better (I had a tear in the rear window and replaced the top with a black one). My top also hada lot of scuff marks and unusual wear, so it's possible that it wasn't maintained well, but the rest of the car was immaculate, so it couldn't have been abused all that much.
I see a few of them around on other cars (the lighter shade is popular on blue Boxsters around here) and they always look good. In the end I think they probably hold up well enough, but seeing it up close on a nice silver paint every day definitely made it look grungy in contrast to the paint.
