YAP..... and the top is listed. $7500

Hmmmm . . that is more than what some forum members paid for their Boxster.

The heck, 7500? It was 3500 not a week ago... even the old link to their eBay page at the first page of this thread, the price has changed to 5k+. It was 2700 plus shipping.

Tall about a quick way for this top to die right when it begins. This company is a joke.

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

That $7500 top is a used top being sold by a dismantler who thinks it's worth way more than it is.

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

Oh I see, this is the yellow top Woody(itsnotanova) was speaking of

"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)

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.

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.

I love the top, it looks great
