Are you talking about someone that can speak French, PM the two guys on this forum who have the top, to ask them questions? The obvious answer is why? If they’re on this site they better understand English.

English in Europe is taught as a secondary language and if D. Moris is a company that expects to ship their products worldwide then I'm sure they speak English. I've sent them an e-mail asking for a few answers;

"There are many of us in America that would like information about your Boxster Hardtop to include accessories, cost, color combinations (paint & headliner), American & Canadian distributors. Do you communicate in English or do I have to communicate in French?"

I'll post the answer when and if I get one.

You're right, if they want to be a reputable company, they should communicate in all major languages, and if they don't respond to product inquiries I'm not so sure I'd want to venture into a purchase knowing their customer service is less than top-notch.

I'm still interested in this top more so over the Zeintop because I feel it compliments the Boxster's lines so much more than the factory hard-top, without transforming the car into a pseudo-cayman look a like, (Zeintop) Although it's still nice--and they are more competitive with their prices so who knows when the time comes.

I've attached some pictures of someone else who has had theirs installed and painted yellow, (from the link) they had the column in between windows painted yellow but I think it looks better left alone, or dark like the windows

This looks like a great compromise between the Z-top, and the OEM top, which has the lines of Dr. Phil's head... The c-pillar agrees with the a-pillar, the fit looks to be very good, and no need to remove the soft top & clamshell (?). And seems like it's priced about a third less than the Z-top.

If we had more severe winters here in Tucson, the Z-top would be my choice; as I like the styling best, overall. But this version certainly preserves / enhances the 986/7 styling, though the Cayman ain't all that hard to look at, either...

I'll be watching the site for more info, as they seem to be under construction, today. Wonder how long it will take for one of these to show up on ebay; as I've seen two Z-tops for sale lately....

Here's another picture of it, although it looks really distorted cause of the two-page spread format.

I happen to like the OEM style and the Zeintop, but not this one . . . but the shape is just a matter of personal taste. For those like me who like the OEM style, has anyone tried the OEM-imitation fiberglass hardtop from GT Motor Sports (http://www.gtmotorsport.net/index.php?menu=Boxster+Series&page=Hardtop)? I like that top, it's presumably lightweight, not subject to dents, and the price is a lot better than the alternatives.
