Whats the difference in the shell and the finished product?? All I would need is the shell with latches and rear window.

To the best of my knowledge the shell is just the aluminum frame. You would still need the rear window (about $400), headliner, latches, seals (at least $200), and you have to fit it all together. And there are probably a few other parts.

Last time I talked to them, they told me they currently do not carry them in fiberglass or make them in carbon fiber anymore. The completed one with glass was $1049.00. And $800.00 for a fiberglass one with out glass. Carbon fiber was an option with an additional cost. Cost was not stated. See this link. http://www.gtmotorsport.net/index.php?menu=Boxster+Series&page=Hardtop

I just spoke to Larry at GTMotorsports. He is going to talk to the designer/manufacturer and see if they can make more.


lets keep our fingers crossed, I for one would love a carbon fiber hardtop on my Black Boxster. I think it would look pretty sharp for the few months out of the year I would use it.
