hi all,

i recently bought a 98 boxster. she's quite a gem with 39k miles on the clock and well maintained by previous owner.
I want to gradually build the car to BSR. Thus, I want to run the car thru DE first and get acquainted with it. Been running a GT3 for the past 5 years and want to put that into "retirement" due to running cost.

My first order of business is to put in a full cage. The car already have an OEM hardtop and am trying to solicit people who are currently BSR owners on which path I should go as there are aftermarket hardtops out there that are much lighter than OEM. pros and cons would be appreciated.

anyone have a BSR running OEM hardtop?
is it possible to design a full cage based on the OEM hardtop and still be able to fit an aftermarket top like GTracing or Sheridan w/o compromising safety.

thanks in advance. pics of the car. attached.
