This is too bad. I don't if its because of the BSR/BSX Boxster spec racing but the cost of OEM hardtops have gone up considerably since I first got my car. I would frequently see the hardtops go for $800 and I once passed one up for about $600.
Now they go for at least twice that. The 996 Cabriolet hardtops were practically given away back then. Given the number of Boxster sstill rolling around you would think some large company would have invested the money into a Zeintop business and sold them at prices that would lure someone away from paying up for a OEM hardtop. I don't think this is a feasible business for a small company. They have to price the tops too high to get their money back and will never be able to produce a large volume of tops.
