my 2 cents

I think Zeintop is a great new innovative top. I think the 986 in general looks better and more aggressive than the 987, which look weaker and more feminin. The Zeintop on the 986 looks much better than a Cayman. the Lines on the 986 make the car look more exotic. My favorite Zeintop product is the Cayman style spoiler which you dont see in these pics. Its two parts, one on the bumper and the spoiler itself. Even if you dont like the top and get this spoiler and pair it with a Oem hardtop it will look hot. its just that the spoiler is north of 800 bucks. I guess thats the price of exclusitivity.

Blimey...its gettin hot in ere!!!!

I like to see different ideas being tried out.....and yes I like to see different Boxsters.....I have the standard hard top.....and.......I will stick with it, it looks like its trying too hard to be something its not, and in my view a standard Boxster is better than a cayman anyway.

And I like the 911 lights!!!...That was done well and I think updates the 986 look, as they did with the 996 in 2001....maybe they should of done the Boxster as well!!

Thumbs up

I love this top. I've always thought the stock 986 hardtop looked far too Miata-esque. When I saw this, I wondered why Porsche hadn't done the same thing.

Half the year, I find the convertible top insufficient at retaining heat. Investing an hour or so at the beginning and again at the end of the spring/summer season seems well worthwhile.

I don't think one can say "If it's nay Porsche, tis crap" with this mod.

I really like it. I think it looks like an older style Cayman if they had introduced it with the 986 body. Not something that I would do to mine, but I do think it looks good.

I love the rear spoiler that they sell. I think it's way overpriced, but it's also new to the market. I'm sure that someone will be selling a knock off of it in the near future. The spoiler on the two-toned Box in the first picks looks to be crooked (driver's side sits higher than the passenger side). I'd fix that and get the rascal painted and pop that dent out on the rear bumper cover. I think it will look
