Blue Boxster with silver hardtop

It actually looks better than I thought. The spinlocks aren't installed yet but it was taking up too much room so I put it on the car just to have a place to store it for now :)

I was thinking of ways to wrap.it or paint it, but I might just get some silver vinyl and have my son make me new car numbers in silver to match the top :)

Or if anybody near north FL has an ocean blue hardtop and wants to trade I am for that too :)

My was originally red. Then silver and now Basalt. I bought a storage bag for it and I hang it from the ceiling along a wall in may garage.

I'm working on a ceiling storage thing as well. That thing is deceptively huge and awkward when it is not on the car...

I tried it as well but then had it painted. Have fun with the spin locks.

Looks good! Probably looks better now that it is painted :)

Spin locks are done. Since I have fixed back racing seats, that are floor mounted with no sliders, and they are all the way back, it was fun :) I had to do most of it by touch without being able to see...

I've got a few adjustments to make, the gap looks a little too big at the back center of the hardtop where it meets the body and there is a fair amount of creaking when I take the car around a corner...

And a new rear spoiler.

Very nice!

I love the look of mine. Looks cool with the top a few shades darker than the body:
