The new Z-Tops are currently priced high to discourage buying. This is common practice on eBay when something is sold out or production is delayed for another reason.
I hope. Cause the current price of 4500 plus 1200 shipping is outrageous also. The previous 2700 plus shipping was mildly reasonable

Be happy you aren't up north, $7,500 USD translates to over $10,000 CDN.

"was $10,000...on sale $7,500" GTFOH $7500 and this is what you're expecting to get? For that money I can probably find a base Box with a Z-top on it already.


(sorry for the huge pics. too lazy to re-upload smaller pics)

Put top back on today. Thing is.. i really like the look of the orginal boxster with it off now.And to me this top is looking a bit much. Something that is trying to look like something that is not.Ricer car? And having seconds thoughts about installing the GT wing but kinda to late to turn back now. The wing fits the orginal Boxster rear trunk lid just enough to work. But this tops trunk lid is inch shorter in width"half a inch on each side shorter in width" whichs gives it that larger gap between the rear fenders and trunk lid, if looking closely at it.Plus it sits a bit lower then orginal lid.It will install but some slight mods are going to have to take place. The GT wing is dam more heavier then i thought it would be. Its like almost 10lbs. and came with only 2 little dinky bolts on each side to screw in.Need to drill in larger holes to bolt in large bolts. Do not really want to start drilling holes yet. Maybe i can use 3M tape on it before i do the drilling to give a better look at it from all angle's.
