Hardtop Boxster -04

[Robert993TT]

Close to buying a Boxster S from 2004.

Thinking of buying a hardtop secondhand to use in early spring and late autumn. Also wondering if there are ways to fit a roof box with enough length to fit skis in or a roof rack for a bike or two.

I´ve seen that there are two versions of the hardtop for Boxster.

986 563 911 01 - 1997
986 563 911 03 - 1998- 2004

I don´t want to use the solutions that you see on pictures from early model that also fit when using the soft top. I´m thinking of a solution more like fitting something from Thule. Is there any preparations on the hardtop from that like a standard car?

Unfortunately I have not seen any Boxters with hardtop in my area lately in person. Hope that someone here have some helpful information.

Thanks.
