Exactly! There is no cost of fitment. It comes on and off.

That Renegade was "soon to be released" 4 years ago when I bought my top. It still hasn't come out. It uses plexiglass windows. Mine has real glass, latches, gas struts, finished interior and a brake light. It's complete. Nothing needed but paint if it doesn't match. I had mine painted at the local Jaguar dealer body shop (Brown's Jaguar) for $500. The quality of the job was the same as they give Jags that come through their bays

And not to be negative towards Eric's top... but, you lose the use of your trunk. And with space being premium in a boxster ehhh... (Sorry)

Same point I was trying to get across with Eric's, also was no intention of dogging on it, just that it is a racing top. It is not made for the daily functionality that our tops offer.

(BTW dude, mine is pretty much off the market because I finally get to pick it up color matched tomorrow so not trying to take your sale lol)

I can understand someone not wanting to put the money into a car with a lower value but I will have 20k into my Boxster since August with my top, stereo, wheels, and tinted lights. I know the KBB won't ever value it that high but i have a 60k mile world class sports car that can look like a Boxster or a Cayman within minutes. To me, it is worth every penny I have spent and I WILL get every bit of my money's worth in enjoyment.

For any potential buyers, what you need to look at is this basically allows you to have the sexy curves of a Cayman, AND still the beautiful weather drop top action of a Boxster in a really refined package. I know what VaBadBoy is asking for his top and I paid a similar price for mine and I think it is really fair for what you get, although yes, its a little hard to part with that much for a cosmetic item.
