I went with an 04 top with the glass rear window. Paid a grand, it was a complete top and included everything so it was plug and play. blueflames is right, it does restrict access to the top of the engine, the glass hits the rollbar. (Tempting to remove the roll bar.)

I had considered going with a new top with a vinyl window and would have had a boat upholstery shop sew in a zipper to the window would be removable.

I've never been close to an 03 or later Boxster. I wonder what they did about access to the engine lid?
