As much of a cliche as the old British sport caps are, you know the ones all the old MG drivers never remove?, I found it to be the best. The short brim is enough to keep the nose from frying completely off my face, it does not have webbing on the back that fries the rear half of the chrome dome, and the short bill does not give the effect of putting the top back up. It also fits nicely in the little cubby hole behind the seat on my 987.

I'm in Houston too... I don't blame you a bit for considering a hard top! It's friggin' hot here and I'm going for a cayman S next time around. It ain't worth it.

PM me so we can get together and do a shine and show!

Is that a euphamism?

Nope. Shine and show (or show and shine) is a term used by my local PCA. Shine up your car and show it off.

Glad to clarify that though. It certainly wasn't a proposition

I agree with Randall and those that like their hardtops.

I only use mine in winter, and I love the look. Interior quieter also.

It stores in the Porsche wall rack with a OEM cover, altho there is a rolling cart available. Don't store it flat on the floor.

Very light but it take two to tango it on or off w/o a hoist.
