I’ve never seen a hard top integrate so well into the body lines.
Black one, especially. Looks identical to a Cayman.
Anyone know what that is about ?
Usually, they look horrible like this

I haven’t been on Craigslist in some time and wondered if anyone can recommend a Craigslist multi city or state search app or site.
When I bought my booster 10 years ago I found it in South Carolina and used ‘crazedlist’ to search all cities in all states on the trip there and back. I was able to find rims which I still have and some other parts on the way home.
I’m making a trip to South Carolina on the weekend and would love to locate parts for my boxster and a4
Thanks in advance

This one was passed on to me and looks like it has potential:
https://tippecanoe.craigslist.org/cto/d/denver-for-sale-97-porsche-boxster/6827295954.html
A project car '97 with under 90k miles for $2,500. It's too far away from me and I have 4 project cars in progress at the moment, so for not me.

Sometimes it's a small world. This car sits at the other end of the building I have my shop in.
The good part - I got the hard top from the car, a brand new convertible top and the mesh inserts from both seats.

An old friend pops back up
Was looking thru Denver CL and ran across this ad:
https://denver.craigslist.org/ctd/d/lafayette-2006-porsche-987-cayman-6/6832514139.html
She looked familiar but I didn't remember the sport seats. Did some records checking and sure enough, this is the 06 CS I helped a friend sell 1.5 yrs ago.
2006 Cayman S
Update on my friend - he broke up w/ GF.
It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.

Ha! One of my favorite Steven Wright quotes. Well done.

Thanks I'm thrilled. $6 a piece with free shipping, and nice?

There's a guy in HB selling these right now on CL for $50 a set. A year or so ago I bought 3... 4 sets to match my wheels. I believe I paid $40 a set back then.
Came in boxes... packaging... look like the real deal. Clearly they're not. However, in my opinion... they're worth the price. Plastic.
A couple of weeks ago I was cleaning my wheels... noticed a little wear on the "newer" caps... turned out to be that protective film you're supposed to remove. Now they look even newer.
Good quality knockoffs. Good detail. Grab a few sets while you can. Don't scratch the paint on them...

Does spraying a clear coat over these help protect them? Does clear nail polish work? or at that price, should I just not worry about it? thanks -
