Here are some pics of a solid AS car and a solid black car:

I just love it!!! I wish it didnt cost so much though!! Both the silver and black look great.

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!

whats the fit like, is there panel gaps all over? quality of the paint work?

im lookng at gettin a hardtop but i think they look like a bubble and these are about the same price.

whats the warranty or garantee like if im not happy with the fit, paint etc etc?

any pics of the roof lining?

The hard top Porsche should have created? Nope. As you can see it requires the removal of the boot. Not quite a simple task for easy on/off access.

It's not that it looks like a Cayman, it looks like an attempted Cayman. And to me, it's as much of a Cayman as this is a Carerra GT...
