It could be aluminum, but I didn't scratch it to find out because if it was fiberglass, I didn't want to weaken the structure. I can tell you that without any of the headliner and trim, this top is really light. IIRC, it was as light as some of the Boxster Spec guys were saying the fiberglass tops were. Did any aftermarket manufacturers make fiberglass tops with the ears?

But again, I can't be sure about any of it as I'm out of town. When I get back, I'll check the pictures to see if I remember correctly.

Does anybody know of a way to test if the top is fiberglass or aluminum without damaging it?
