Yes. It's painted black, though. Weighs 6 lb IIRC, although it's been a while since I weighed it.

Positively not on board with this at all.
- Side windows looks odd and out of place from most angles
- A rear window that large and at such a low angle would require a rear wiper
- Defeats the purpose of the relatively easy on/off of the normal hard top
- Way too many lines, car loses its smoothness
- Disrupts the flow of a Boxster, looks like a kit car of a Cayman (oh wait, I guess it is)
Now then, about this specific car: - Two toned? Really? I guess I shouldn't complain about that... it's like, if a Boxster had purple flames painted on it... and I were complaining about the FLAMES being purple instead of a standard orange...
- Are those tail lights mix-matched? It looks like the left one is 550 style and the right has some amber to it... (maybe a temporary replacement, as the bumper is damaged too)
- Why? If the guy is an autocrosser, so much that he has a carbon fiber hood, why add all that weight back with a jumbo-sized hard top?

Personally, I think it looks like crap, no offense to those who like it.
That side window really looks poorly proportions.

I think that looks great.
The only problem (for me) would be the removal for summer, looks difficult to store

Not crazy about the two-tone either, but I love the look of the Zeintop. I think it looks way better than the standard Boxster hardtop, which to me looks too much like a bubble, doesn't integrate as smoothly as it should with the rear of the car.
I don't quite get the debate about the fact that it looks like a Cayman. Of course it looks like the Cayman, as it should - as we know, the Cayman is essentially the hard top of the Boxster platform. Seems to me that this is the hard-top Porsche should have created for the Boxster in the first place!
