I agree with the recommendation to install an 03/04 top and frame. I did this a few years ago and it was a relatively easy job. My base Boxster started life with a plastic rear window top that didn't have a headliner. The glass window and headliner gave the car a more refined look and feel.

I think the challenge for this option will be to find an 03/04 top in good condition. I searched for about a year before I located mine, and I doubt that they are becoming more abundant.
