Red soft top for 2003 Boxster S ?
 

Hi All, been wondering and surfing in trying to find suppliers for a RED soft top for my 2003 Boxster S. Any ideas?
Thanks
Jojo

I think the same place that carries spinners for Porsches will have a red top for you.

You don't have to groin kick him for his desire to individualize, there should be a maroon ish color available if you want something as bright as guards red you are going to have to go custom.

Red is an available color on 981s and was for 987s I believe. No need to knock on the guy for wanting to spiff up his car. :rolleyes: With the right color, the subdued red roof would look fantastic (especially on white or black).

I always wondered if I had been in the market in 08 would I have bought an RS60 with red or black top? I'm glad the red exists, and I always love seeing one, but would I want to see one everytime I went out into my garage???

I'm thinking the same
Red top, black car

Paintboy, whats wrong with you?
That's factory option on some models of Porsche

I have the wine colored one on my artic silver boxster.

Pics? That's gotta be gorgeous

Porsche has some of the ugliest color combinations in history. But I can see where dark red over black would look cool.

They do it cause they can, kind of tough to break a guys balls for having lime green accents when they are sitting on a GT3 that could rip a hole in most cars space time continuum.

I had a 1972 240Z and the car was lime green....from the factory.

I have seen the Wine color on a Seal Grey Boxster and I was impressed, but it gets pretty dirty after time.

Then don't you have boccie sized balls with the spinners comment?

PS 240 was a nice car, too bad it suffered Fiat itis, they literally disintegrated, Japan made a green car and didn't even know it.

Here is a shot from google:

I agree with Mike, you should probably buy one from GAHH. They have a large array of colors, a great warranty, and have very high quality tops. Take your pick of colors!!

The top is usually a shade of the interior or exterior color, right? What color interior are we working with here??

Ghost,

It's bocce not boccie ! And you call yourself a Sicilian !

There could be some debate about that...

1972....normal color for then. Remember some of the Doge colors?

OH i see...top matches tail light.

j/k

Paintboy what is your damage? Does your ex drive a convertible with a red top? Or maybe you got dumped by a redhead for spending too much time in the garage. 5 posts to protest a top color most of us consider sharp and very "porsche" just seems too much. Even for a purist, a non-stock top color is among the lesser evils committed against these cars in the name of individualization.
My vote is in favor, though I agree there should be some tie-in to the interior, even if only dash bars painted to match.

Yep, agree that a tie in to the interior is necessary for it to look distinguished.

As far as being different, to each their own right, I mean all of us choose to drive a Porsche instead of the run of the mill car, so may as well bask in our non-conformity and show off.

In the end there is only one person the color has to please.....the wife :eek: Sad but true!

Guys, thanks for your various views. The fact that today's choice includes a silver car with a red top, means something- to me at least. And by the way, my interior is a full leather Boxster Red with lots of Carbon Fibrehttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1348069796.jpg

Just having fun...did not think so many people would be so put off by joking. It's just a car. My car is arctic silver, but I have a gray interior..I'm stuck with a black top pretty much. Maybe deep down inside I have interior color envy. Thank you for pointing this out. You have saved me thousands on therapy.

What's the hang up with top having to match interior? Unwritten
code of style? May hurt resale? I understand it wouldn't match
factory original, but I'm no purist.

I might be getting a replacement top via insurance and want to
go with red. 01 base Seal Gray / grey int. Decided on glass window
and A5 acoustic, but waffling on color... Seen all the recs to stay
with black; grey looks good but shows dirt too easily; but I love
the red contrast. How bout if I just buy some red floor mats?
Can I get a witness?

I have a seal grey 2002...Black top, light grey interior. I would never switch away from the black. My car is pretty stealthy black and grey with black logo down the side. But I have to say...I LOVE THE RED top!

If you do please post pics.

Go with your gut. Go with the red! If you don't, you will be kickin yourself.

That's what I wanted to hear, thanks!

The red on the silver looks pretty slick IMO. Go for what makes you happy. We want pics though when you are done!

Looks great! What brand top did you go with? Did you install?

I love the red interior!

Here you go.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/0601357865710.jpg

Jojo, why is your steering wheel installed upside down? :)

Jojo - love the full boxster red interior, been looking for the red vents but h
No luck, ended up with black leather vents

Hootie & brockmeister - love the red top combo, will go the same route on My AS/BR/BK when time comes.

Jojo, that red interior is the best one I have seen spec'd so far:dance:...just the right amount of red with black combo and the silver/metal accents. The only problem is the steering wheel in on the "gnorw edis" :D

Hmm...Hooties, I have seal grey with grey interior like you and have contemplated about the bordeaux top. I currently have the grey top which also looks really cool.
:cheers:

Hootie:

Lookin good, my man.

Thanks for the positive vibes! :cheers:

Mine is a Robbins with glass. I'm told it's comparable to GAHH in quality. Bordeaux is the color; seems it's a little darker than some of the others posted on this page. I like it but the jury's still out. :confused:

The installer didn't do the helper straps correctly and I had to take it back once; cable popped out again the other day...:mad:

986_c6 I considered gray, and I think it looks better. But heard too many negatives about it showing dirt.

I mostly drive it this-a-way anyway, with just a sliver of red showing:
