It's a shame, I normally really like speedster humps, but I think it's the way they fit on the Boxster that isn't quite right... the dark line that forms between the humps and the car is too obvious. I think they might look really good on black, but I'd like to see them in person.

Your complaint is the one I hear most often...that the line between the humps and the car is too pronounced. For the record, I think you're right, especially on a light colored car.

On a black car, they probably look quite nice. Hey Randall! Any pics of your speedster humps yet?

I posted a lousy pic of my box with the humps on the other day.

Everyone asks me if I traded it on a new one when I drive around with the humps on and they see that combo with the new side skirts.

And the humps make me feel like boy racer from the cartoons I watched as a kid!

$800 is too steep though unless they are factory and painted to match your car. Buy them from www.gtmotorsport.net and get them painted and you'll still have a couple of hundred in your pocket.

Just be willing to wait forever and call them and remind them you bought something from them a month before and ask why the heck they haven't shipped it yet. Oh yeah, their web site says they are gel coated but they are NOT gel coated... which is good because your paint shop can do some sanding if required.

Da humps are da bomb!

Now as far as cutting wind, my wife says I fart more now that I have the humps on the car than ever before.

I agree, they do change the appearance of your car sometimes drastically depending on the color. Mine is midnight blue and I think the look gorgeous. I went to a Lexsus dealer tonight to look at a 996 turbo tonight and the salesman wouldn't stop about the speedster humps. I like to think I have 3 cars. The standard, with the humps and with the hardtop. All three are very different. In my opinion of course...Here are mine. They came from Vertex Auto (a sponsor of the board). My wife bought them for me as part of an xmas present. They are contracted to a company in Florida, can't remember their name though. I was really pleased with the fit. Customer service is tip top notch as always. I had em finished locally though. I believe in always doing business in my back yard if possible. Vertex charges $599.00 for them and I had them painted to match for $150.00.
