Is it my imagination or is the price of the Z-Top on EBAY going up? It shows $4,995 or best offer.

Also it seems like it has showed (8) sold for a couple months.

I was quoted $2,700 delivered for a February delivery this year.
I bought a 03 4bow top with glass instead.

Supply and demand rules govern I suppose.

The Chinese manufacturer would probably sell you one direct for half that if you contact the right person ;-)
They have the manufacturer ship direct anyways so the middle man is simply there to pocket the extra cash of arranging your delivery.

Just wait till the next election when Chinese imports get slapped with a huge tarrif.

Better hurry up and buy now from China while its still affordable.

Hi, I own the Artic silver one in picture at begining.I bought it off a guy selling on this forum.I have the top off for the winter doing engine repairs/clean up. I will be putting it back on this month along with one of those Cayman GT wings. There is a smaller version of that GT wing which suits/looks better on the Cayman . The org. Techart one looks way to big for the Cayman.The wing i have is designed for the 06-12 987 but just fits a 986 as the Cayman is 1inch wider on each fender, so the ends of the base hang over just a bit near the top of the rear lights.The Zintec top fits ok with adjustments but could fit better to give it a more natural look.But then again it was not prep. on my car but on a older Boxster. Wing is in the paint shop this week. I will post some pictures of it on, if someone is thinking of doing this Mod.

Yes, I'd like to see what you have done.

All the wings seem either too big or too small for the 986, perhaps yours is the right look to match the car.

Appreciate any pic you can post.

$7500!! I was thinking of starting off at $2500 if I had gotten that car. I'm shocked that he's asking that much. He's normally pretty spot on with his pricing but that's a swing and a miss. I'm guessing his overhead is catching up to him.
