A hard top on a circa 2k? Interesting. You must really love that car to invest so much into it.

Do you guys have some interior pics ?

With the HT mounted I presume? Nope, mine has black colour. It`s made out of fibre glas. The biggest difference than the material, is that it is a bit longer (making it look slightly like a Cayman in the rear of the roof, I see what they are saying, but I don`t really agree..) and it has the quarter window. Easier to paralel park I guess.

It's not my car, but looking to import, will fly to England to check out the company to see if they are on the up and up.

The company also makes tops for lotus too and they seem to be ok quality

Sounds like a troll

Kashmir, there is a guy on the forum that is developing a hardtop in California.

http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-racing-forum/44139-new-boxster-hard-top-prototype.html

You may want to check it out and send him a message too before flying out.

if you're travelling to Europe check out dmoris; their boxster roof looks a bit more refined than the English offering:

Indeed... that "D. Moris Styling" has the best looking hardtop design so far!

particlewave 08-12-2013 12:31 PM

I don't think it looks quite as good as the Zeintop, but close...and the size of that rear window! :eek:
Nice :)

Yes the z top was very nice, but there was trouble with the manufacturer

clams, it's always the clams
 
That d.morris top makes my oem look like a weak aftermarket attempt. How many clams for that rascal? For those lines I might give up the oem fabric liner and aluminum shell.

I commented previously that the top looks stunning, but any prospective buyers are going to have to REALLY want this item.

At today's rate, cost of the top is USD$3513.48. Import duty is 2.5% of the total value - $87.84, other U.S. Customs fees totaling $16.57, brokerage and bond fees, another $200.00, and then there's the freight. LCL ocean shipping would be the most cost effective. Figure another $450.00 to $650.00 for freight, terminal fees, and delivery.

And don't forget, the hardtop will have to be crated at the shipping point, from fumigated or heat treated wood. Don't know what they charge in France, but here it'd be another $250.00.

Estimated total $4500.00 - $4700.00. (Your results may vary.)

Just keepin' it real................
