I've never seen such a good looking Cayman-style hardtop

Thanks, I appreciate that very much. No worries though - I went through PayPal, so if he doesn’t pay, they will take care of me. Although I’m sure he will pay, he’s just being slow about it. :-(


JBauer - pictures and threads here about your top have been an inspiration to me. Hopefully he does eventually get more tops in stock. If so, I may reorder.

I’m planning a track car, so the weight of the top might be an issue. May just go with a spec Boxster fiberglass top. Decisions, decisions...

some of the cali guys on this forum might be able to help you find member eric523; he was making/selling a 986 track top molded from a 996; a search on here will get you pics, etc.

Here's the thread: New Boxster Hard Top Prototype

I've wanted one since he first posted, but never had enough need to justify the expense. Maybe if we get a list of serious buyers (cash deposit) we can get a production run of a few. Note that they are made with a track car in mind and are not finished for street use.

Yeah, I searched right after I replied and found that thread.

If I do this track car, I’d definitely be interested in one.

I’ll call Hergesheimer Motorsports soon and see what’s up.

He's stalling.
You're clearly getting scammed. Refund takes 10 seconds.
Look up the Paypal refund claim deadline limit timeframe.

Clearly? I doubt that drama 🙄
Probably dragging his feet hoping the tops come in.

6 months. Clock's ticking...

If he's not paying up it's because he doesn't have the refund cash.

Yep, odds are, he's never seeing that money again.
That's usually how these situations end.
The fact that he refused the lawyer's help tells me he's in denial.

You have no idea how PayPal works. I've already spoken with them. Directly. On the phone. To a person here in the US. I'm fully covered if and when I decide to file a dispute.

Also, he coughed up a grand last night. What I want to know is how he’s going to purchase a container of tops from China if he’s gotta live off my measly few bucks?

Good to hear he paid up, some. That puts you closer to the finish line.

Best wishes on the continued recovery.
