Ok, is it me or does the boxster need a real spoiler?

I personally think that the wing on the back of the Box breaks up the smooth lines of the rear. With the bumperettes painted and clear/red tail lights, it looks extremely clean and flows so well. Oh and a debadge...

I see in your profile thingy, you have the gahh glass window top. How do you like it? Where did you get it? I need a top as my window has a couple cracks on the plastic along the side.

I had my done in smoked strataglass (marine coated vinyl). It looks really nice, much better than the green tint. A great fit too - done by an old pro in Toledo. PM me if you want an address.

Only issues - once you have a new window, then you notice how old the canvass looks ;( Also, it is still vinyl, so it takes special care and it will scratch.

If the canvas looks new, replace the window - otherwise I would go with a new top. Labor is the same.

AND do not try this at home - leave it to a pro with the proper equipment.

Oh, you had to dare me didn't you?

I don't live in toledo anymore, and the way I am i know I need to get glass. I think you can get new canvas and glass window for around $600. Plus my professional free install Hey I am the one everybody asks to put the tent together.

I am still working on how to get the rear 6x4 speakers to fit.

Hey Mp,

Since you asked.....I like the look of the front spoiler in the first pic, I think the stock butt of the boxster is sexy as is......I have not seen a after mkt fin that does it for me.

Good luck,
Ike

Yeah, I am still looking for "IT", as the fin goes. I see a couple that look cool from one angle. I do kind of like the defuser bumper, but for the price, I will pass.

first I am getting some clear side markers and I am looking at the clear front lights form the above post. It just pains me to spend good money on something that isn't broke

It was a wonderfully warm evening in Ohio. He went out with his wife for dinner. The Italian restaurant was great, and they were lucky to get a table in the cozy little garden outside. They had the gnocchi and a bottle of Malvasia wine followed by a sweet Vin Santo with their appetizer. As they were walking back to their car a smile formed upon his lips. She hugged him warmly, it was such a romantic night. Looking at his Porsche he murmured with pleasure. "Damn those lights look great!"

I know... men are pigs... but get some clears

I took my car into a shop that does tops and they ordered it and installed.

The problem with the GAHH glass window top is that the rear window is smaller than stock. I have to bend down a bit to see clearly out the back window. That said, if I had it to do over again I would buy an 03' glass window top and retrofit it onto my 01.

There's a thread here that someone explains everything involved with doing the conversion.

Aside from the rear window issues, the top is very well made and I've not had a problem with anything. It's been on for about 9 months now and is holding up excellent.
