leify01, proceed with caution. Not all speedster humps are created equally.
Some people really like the humps...others hate 'em.
Do some searches here, these have been talked about several times.

Hey Leif,
I have a set of the Speedster Humps. Mine were made by the same manufacturer you're asking about. They are excellent quality, and beautifully painted. Are they worth $800.00? I guess they are, if you want a set and you like the way they look. Honestly, I rarely use mine. The don't have any wind blocking/aerodynamic benefit as far as I can tell. They're just made to look cool.
Now...about that car of yours... I remember seeing it when it was for sale. You really need to post some good photos of it. It is the most unusual 986 I've ever seen and I'm sure the members here would love to see it in greater detail.

Here's my car with the humps on. They really do change the personality of the car. Some people love the look and others hate it. It's just a matter of personal preference.

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?

You can ask for $700.00 painted and I bet he will agree. That is a decent price and a good deal. He color match my spoiler and it looks great. He uses O.E.M. Porsche paint and the paint codes from your car.

I have the factory humps. I've only put them on once so don't know how effectively they cut the wind, but I absolutely love the look.
