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...

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